Introductory Run for NM Rail Runner Express to Lobo Football Game working so well that it continues for this Saturday’s game!

New Platform at Commercial and Avenida Cesar Chavez perfect for boarding and deboarding

 (Albuquerque, NM – September 15, 2009) The first run of the New Mexico Rail Runner Express to its new Lobo Special Events Platform last Saturday was a big success – in fact, it went so smoothly that Lobo football fans will get another chance to do it again for this Saturday’s home game with Air Force.

“We’re very excited about how well this past Saturday’s introductory run worked out for those who decided to avoid the hassle of parking and use the train and shuttle to get to the game”, says Lawrence Rael, Executive Director for the Mid-Region Council of Governments. “This was a great opportunity to see how this set-up will work for future events at the University, as well as events at Albuquerque Isotopes Stadium.” 

 While the new platform is not a regular stop on the Rail Runner route, it will be available to provide a valuable transportation alternative for those wanting to attend events in the university corridor, and avoid the hassle of finding parking.

The Lobo Special Events Platform is located on Commercial Avenue almost directly beneath Avenida Cesar Chavez. . Fares for the Lobo train and bus service will be the normal discounted zone fare for Saturday plus a $2 charge to ride the shuttle from the Lobo Special Events Platform to the game. One ticket to ride both the train and the shuttle can be purchased at the platform or on the train.

Every home Lobo football game has a different start time, so those wanting to ride the train and catch the shuttle to the game should log onto www.nmrailrunner.com for the latest scheduling information.
