Transit Equity in Albuquerque & Updates to City’s Bus System
NMiF Senior Producer Lou DiVizio introduces two recent interviews about public transit in Albuquerque, specifically the city bus system.
First, Christopher Ramírez and Althea Atherton with Together for Brothers talk with Laura Paskus about the City of Albuquerque’s Zero Fares Pilot Program and why transit equity doesn’t just benefit those who need to take advantage of free fares on the city’s buses.
Then, Gene Grant speaks with ABQ Ride Deputy Director Bobby Sisneros and Principal Planner Andrew De Garmo about proposed changes to Albuquerque’s transit line, including route adjustments that took effect late last month.
