Jade Torres, 18, steps out of the green route bus Friday, followed by Gabriel Chacon, 21, at their stop at the Farmington Public Library.

Free taxi service would be WAY cheaper and no liability for the City.

Lots of numbers in the article with one glaring omission. Number of paid riders.

"There are no plans to run buses later at night, expand routes and stops or sell day passes, said Rod Hunt, the city's General Services director"

How can they expect to expand IF they have no plans to do so..

A person going from Aztec to Animas Mall, must ride all the to Orchard Plaza and change buses there, then ride all the way back out to the Mall... Would it NOT be more cost effective to add additional stops.. Especially from Aztec to East Main Wal-Mart; Animas Valley Mall; Target, etc... One stop at either English or Beckland could service that whole area without the additional of having to go all the way to Orchard... I could see this being an issue IF the buses had to be redirected, however they do not.. They are going right past these businesses..

Also has anyone spoke with the businesses to see IF they are willing to help with this issue...

Hat's off to ya - it's money well spent! More people should use it - on a nice day ride it just to see where it goes.
