How To Ride
Riders can book a ride using the PHXLink mobile app or by calling 623-281-3479. Select your destination and number of passengers. A pick up window will be provided and the rider will be directed to a nearby “virtual stop". A virtual stop is a designated pick-up or drop-off location that is typically not marked like a regular bus stop. These stops can be at a corner or community spot such as a community mailbox.
Riders need to arrive at the virtual stop before pick-up window. To make the service efficient and to be mindful of other riders, drivers are directed to only wait two minutes at each stop. If a rider is not at the stop before the two minutes are up, the driver will continue their journey and the trip will be marked as a “no show”.

Please be courteous to other riders and cancel as early as possible if you’re unable to travel. Frequent cancellations or no‑shows may result in limitations on your account.
Drivers will wait at the virtual stop for up to 2 minutes. After that time, the driver will continue the route and the trip will be marked as a “no‑show.” This policy helps keep the service efficient and ensures a smooth experience for all riders.

Other passengers headed in the same direction may be picked up and dropped off during your trip. This keeps the service fast and efficient.
The easiest way to use the service is by downloading the app with the links above. However, if you do not have a smartphone, or need additional assistance, you can call our support team at the number listed above and we’ll help you over the phone.
Sometimes, if we are experiencing high demand in your area, there may not be any vehicles or drivers currently available to service your ride. If your travel plans are flexible, you can try requesting the ride again after a few minutes. Please note, calling will not increase your ability to book a ride as our agents have the same ability as you do booking in the app.
Once a ride is confirmed, you will see the estimated time of arrival (ETA) of your driver in the app. You can follow your driver’s progress in real-time so you know where they are. The app will give you directions to your pickup stop which may be a short walk away. Just follow the dotted line to get to your exact pickup spot.
