The city plans to replace about half of the aging bus system's roughly 50-vehicle fleet with larger and more reliable buses over the next two years.
The free neighborhood circulator, which launched in 2007, connects riders to north Tempe destinations such as Mill Avenue, Arizona State University and Tempe Marketplace. It also connects riders with other bus routes and light rail.

A New Method of Hunting Nearby Black Holes Turns up a Monster | Discover Magazine
When many large stars die, they turn into black holes. And yet, despite the billions of stars in our Milky Way, astronomers have only discovered a handful of black holes within the galaxy. That's because, at the moment, their methods can only pick out black holes in certain situations.
The few nearby black holes discovered so far have been found because they're locked in a close orbit with a star. And astronomers find them by looking for X-ray radiation given off as the black hole pulls material from this companion sun.
At the Far Side of the Milky Way --Colossal New Black Hole & Orbiting Star (Weekend Feature)
A new gargantua, a black hole known as LB-1, has been discovered lurking at the far side of the Milky Way with a mass that is around 70 times larger than our sun with an orbiting blue monster, a star eight times the size of the sun.
In a new study, published in the journal Nature on Nov. 27 , a research team from the Chinese Academy of Sciences detected the object with the Large sky Area Multi-Object fibre Spectroscopic Telescope (Lamost), based at Xinglong Observatory in China.

The response came after the unveiling of the Innisfil Mobility Orbit Vision, a planned community that will centre around a new GO train station on Line 6 on land largely owned by Cortel.
Asia Times | China chugs Saudi oil, drawing MBS into its orbit | Article
China has upped its imports of Saudi oil significantly, part of a bid to draw Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman into its orbit amid an ongoing trade war with the United States.
Beijing’s crude oil imports from Saudi Arabia rose to nearly 2 million barrels per day (bpd) in October, up 24 million bpd or 76.3% compared to the previous month, Saudi daily Asharq al-Awsat reported, citing China’s General Administration of Customs.
Two new Chinese refineries – Hengli Petrochemical and Zhejiang Petrochemical – played a major role in the bump, the Saudi daily said.
