Park and Ride
express buses connect directly to the Rail Runner at the
Sandoval County/US 550 Station. Passengers can transfer
directly to and from the Park and Ride express bus on two
morning and two evening runs. Starting March 1, 2007, New
Mexico Park and Ride passes valued at $90 or more will be
honored by the Rail Runner. In other words: any Park and
Ride passenger who holds a current monthly system wide,
Purple, Blue, or Orange Route Pass, can ride the Rail Runner
at no additional charge!

| The icon representing this station is the wine grape, which is appropriate since the station sits on land that was once a large vineyard. Grape growing first cropped up in the 1620’s and flourished in the nearby Town of Bernalillo where wine-making became a major industry. Today the area is host to the popular annual New Mexico Wine Festival. |
