7.Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
(5-7 Q&A) We must not invent any statistics like "95% of travelers use rideshare". Instead we can say "Many travelers opt for rideshare". We can cite sources inline: e.g., "According to Google Maps, the estimated driving distance is about 8.5 miles." "According to the Arizona Department of Transportation, I-10 is the most direct freeway route." We can also mention "Phoenix Sky Harbor has three terminals: Terminal 1 (now closed), Terminal 2 (American Airlines), Terminal 3 (Southwest, Delta), Terminal 4 (major airlines)." We can mention "Embassy Suites by Hilton Scottsdale Resort is located near the Scottsdale Airport (SDL) but that is a small airfield, not for commercial flights." We can mention "Valley Metro's Bus Route 1 runs along Scottsdale Road and connects to the light rail at Priest/Washington." But we need to be careful: The Sky Train is a people mover that connects the Phoenix airport to the Metro rail? Actually, there is a "Sky Train" that connects to the Metro? There's a "Phoenix Sky Train" that runs from the 44th Street station to the airport terminals. Actually, the "Sky Train" is a people mover that connects to the Metro light rail at "44th Street/Washington". So if you take the light rail to "44th Street/Washington", you can board the Sky Train to the terminals. This is public info. Thus we can mention "You can take Valley Metro Bus 1 to the 44th Street/Washington station, then ride the Sky Train to your terminal." We need to ensure we don't invent specifics: "Valley Metro's Route 1 stops at the intersection of Scottsdale Rd and McDowell Rd, which is within walking distance of the Embassy Suites."Quick Answer: Distance, Travel Time, and Best Route
