Info on buying tickets on-line
(Albuquerque, 6-25-07) Commuters can now go on-line to purchase
and print their tickets to ride on the New Mexico Rail Runner
Express. All it takes is a credit card, a computer, and a printer.
“This is just another element of service that we want
to offer customers to make their Rail Runner experience easier”,
says Lawrence Rael, Executive Director for the Mid-Region
Council of Governments. “Being able to purchase Rail Runner
tickets online will give commuters a few extra minutes in the
morning if they don’t have to buy them at the station.”, adds
Rael.
Rail Runner ticket-buyers can log onto nmrailrunner.com and
click on “Tickets”. From there, they will be directed to follow
a simple process that allows them to purchase a one-way ticket,
a day pass or a monthly or annual pass for the dates they
desire, and print it out right at home.
“Rail Runner’s use of web-purchased tickets will allow it to
streamline payment transactions, as well as improve passenger
service and satisfaction”, says Rhonda Faught, Secretary of the
NM Department of Transportation. “And for the user, the site is
secure so they can feel safe about using their credit card
on-line.”
Ticket-buyers will be asked for some basic information when they
go on-line to make their purchase:
- The Rail Runner station from which a person is departing
- The Rail Runner station to which a person is traveling
- The date of travel
- The type of ticket: one-way, day pass, etc.
Once that information is entered, the ticket fare is calculated
automatically.
Passengers will still be able to purchase tickets from
yellow-vested ticket agents at Rail Runner station platforms and
on the train.
