STAY OUT OF THE ALBUQUERQUE RAPID TRANSIT LANES. THAT’S THE WORD FROM THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE TO THE DRIVERS WHO’VE BEEN ILLEGALLY USING THE LANES DESIGNATED FOR A-R-T BUSES DOWN CENTRAL. CITY BUS DRIVERS ARE CURRENTLY BEING TRAINED ON THOSE LANES TO DRIVE THE 6-FOOT LONG ELECTRIC BUSES. BUT THE TRAINER SAYS DRIVERS NOT ONLY MAKE ILLEGAL LEFT TURNS ACROSS THE BUS LANES, BUT ALSO PARK THERE.
CITY OFFICIALS DON’T EXPECT DRIVERS TO STOP USING THE LANES BUT SAY TRAINING WILL BE COMPLETED NEXT MONTH. MEANWHILE, DRIVERS CAUGHT USING A-R-T LANES WILL GET A 80 DOLLAR TICKET.
