NCRTD News:

Effective Oct. 15, 2024, the North Central Regional Transit District (NCRTD) will restore the $1 fare for MyBlue™ ridesharing trips in Española and Taos. The fare was temporarily waived in January of 2023 when the Blue Bus adjusted service levels due to a shortage of available bus operators and MyBlue™ served as an interim transit solution.

Trips booked for rides within the Pojoaque-Nambé zone will remain fare-free. All regular Blue Bus routes are free of charge across the service area.

For trips booked in the app for a ride occurring after Oct. 15 or later, customers will be requested to submit a method of payment or may opt to pay a cash fare to the driver. Exact change is required. Drivers are unable to provide change.

MyBlue™ is an innovative, on-demand ridesharing system serving Española, Taos, Pojoaque-Nambé and starting Oct. 15 Edgewood, New Mexico. With the MyBlue™ app, customers can book rides anywhere within a designated MyBlue™ service zone using their mobile device or may call the NCRTD to book reservations 24 hours in advance. Customers can track their journey in real-time and pay their fare within the app. For more information about MyBlue™ visit ncrtd.org/myblue.
