Commissioner Haggerty hemmed and hawed and voted nay, but the rest of the Commissioners and Judge Cobos pushed through the pilot program for bus service between El Paso and Las Cruces.
This will basically be an express route from downtown El Paso and UTEP to NMSU and downtown Las Cruces, 3x in the morning and 3x in the afternoon/early evening.
Considering there is no such service at the moment and that NMDot is paying for the largest chunk of it with TxDot the remainder and with no county dollars needed for the first year, it makes perfect sense to try this.
I can't wait to travel to Las Cruces!
I really hope I heard right that it would be $3 on-way! And on a coach that is wheelchair accessible and with a bathroom!
I will be first in line to be able to experience this, and if it is good I will travel to Las Cruces just for the 'halibut' as often as possible just to keep the ridership up for the trial period.
