Easy Connection to the Albuquerque Airport
Free Airport Shuttle Has a New
Look
(Albuquerque,
NM – June
17, 2009)-
There’s no mistaking it – the free
shuttle between the New Mexico Rail Runner Express and the
Albuquerque International Sunport just got a little easier to spot!
The shuttle, which operates between the Sunport and the Downtown
Albuquerque Rail Runner station more than a dozen times a day, now
boasts some new and eye-catching artwork to make it easier for
travelers to find it.
“This new look is really going to help people find
the shuttle a lot easier, as well as let others know that there
is a free shuttle that can connect them from the Rail Runner
directly to the airport”, says Lawrence
Rael, Executive Director of the Mid-Region Council
of Governments.
Rail Runner-to-Airport
shuttle service started back in December when the train added
service to Santa Fe.
The shuttle is free to Rail Runner passengers, and runs
Monday-through-Friday meeting most trains going to and from Santa Fe. 100% of the
operating costs are paid for by the New Mexico Rail Runner Express,
however the service does utilize an ABQ RIDE vehicle and driver.
“We’re happy to be able to provide this service to
our train passengers”, says Transportation Secretary Gary L. J Girón.
“The new artwork draws attention to the shuttle, and lets people
know that the Rail Runner is just a free connection away from the
airport”.
