tucson: How long will it take by local train from Phoenix to the Tucson or bus?|||LOL,..sorry but there is no local train or bus that goes between Tucson and Phoenix :( You really do need a car out here. By Car it's just around a 2 hour drive between the 2 depending on freeway construction if you run into that then it will take well over 2 hours. It's 125 miles mostly to the north of here. The only train is freight, the folks out here have a phobia with public transportation unfortunately. So rent a car or fly. There is a Greyhound, not widely used and not very good!!!|||:) Thanks Have a good trip Report Abuse |||There is no rail service between Phoenix and Tucson, and a bus will take about 2 hours.
