[Az-Geocaching] Light rail rules and geocaching?

[AZcachemeister]

An all-day pass is $2.50, which would make for some pretty cheap 
power-caching. :-)

There are 33 stations.
There are 8 park 'n' rides.
The trains are planned to run every 10 minutes during daylight hours.
Estimated travel time from end-to-end is 57 minutes.
