New Rio Metro Bus Route in Belen Connects riders to New Mexico Rail Runner Express! New Rio Metro Route 206 to start on Monday! (Belen, NM – March 9, 2011) – Beginning this coming Monday, March 14th, the Rio Metro Regional Transit District will begin a new bus route in Belen connecting commuters to the New Mexico Rail Runner Express. The new route – Rio Metro Route 206 - will meet weekday northbound train #'s 506, 508 and 510 and weekday southbound train #'s 511, 513 and 515 – basically three Rail Runner trains in the morning, and three afternoon trains. “This route really targets commuters by going right into their neighborhood”, says Isaac Benton, Chair of the Rio Metro Board. “Now, Belen residents wanting to use the train can take a short walk from their home, connect to Rio Metro Bus 206, and get right to the train. They never have to even pull their car out of the driveway!” “The new Rio Metro Route 206 allows Belen commuters the flexibility to use the Rail Runner Express during the peak morning and evening hours”, says Dewey Cave, Executive Director for the Mid-Region Council of Governments. “This is the first of several new routes that Rio Metro plans to implement in Valencia County this year.” A little more than a month ago, Rio Metro kicked off it’s “Get Connected 2” Campaign, in which it was announced that most bus routes in the region beginning with the number “2” would be timed to connect with Rail Runner trains. There are more than 60-bus connections at Rail Runner stations from Belen to Santa Fe that can take you as far south as Socorro and as far north as Taos.
