Secretary Faught Announces New Bus Routes to Connect Rail Runner Express

(12-29-06) SANTA FE – Transportation Secretary Rhonda Faught today announced that starting Tuesday, Jan. 2, the Department will add two new express buses to its New Mexico Park and Ride bus service.  The express buses will run between Santa Fe and Bernalillo to provide connections to and from Rail Runner trains at the Sandoval County / US 550 Rail Runner station.

“This new express service will allow more commuters to and from Albuquerque and Santa Fe the flexibility to use the Rail Runner Express during the peak morning and evening hours,” Faught said. “With this new service, we hope more and more commuters will start using the Rail Runner.”

The express buses start in Santa Fe at the NMDOT General Office on Cerrillos Rd. and Cordova and go south on I-25 to the Sandoval County / US 550 Rail Runner station. The buses return to Santa Fe and stop at the NMDOT and the Capitol/PERA Buildings. Fares are $3.00 one-way or a $90.00 monthly pass.
