LAS CRUCES, N.M. — Roadrunner Transit officials say starting Nov. 28, a zero-fare trial will remain in place indefinitely.
Officials say they believe zero fares will have a positive impact on riders’ quality of life.
Many Las Cruces transit riders say they think the zero-fare fare will also help offset the impact of inflation.
Transit Administrator Mike Bartholomew says with a $6 million dollar budget and fares last year at $200,000 are just a drop in the bucket.
City councilors say this change is about accessibility and sustainability in addition to affordability.
