MORE LIGHTING, LANDSCAPING AND A NEW CANOPY. THOSE ARE SOME OF THE FEATURES OF THE REFURBISHED CENTRAL AND UNSER TRANSIT CENTER ON THE WEST SIDE OF ALBUQUERQUE. CITY COUNCILOR KEN SANCHEZ WAS ON HAND TUESDAY MORNING FOR THE OFFICIAL RIBBON CUTTING CEREMONY. HE SAYS AS THE PRICE OF GASOLINE CONTINUES TO INCREASE, HE’S ASKING ALBUQUERQUE RESIDENTS TO USE PUBLIC TRANSIT HAS A LESS EXPENSIVE ALTERNATIVE.
THE TRANSIT CENTER SERVES AS THE WESTERN END OF THE A-B-Q-RIDE ROUTES AND WILL ALSO BE PART OF THE A-R-T SYSTEM. SANCHEZ SAYS HE THINKS THE A-R-T BUSES COULD BE COMING IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE THOUGH NO OFFICIAL DATE HAS BEEN SET FOR THE START OF THE SERVICE.
