UNM STUDENTS, STAFF, AND FACULTY GET TO CHECK OUT THE CITY’S IDEAS FOR FUTURE RAPID TRANSIT SERVICE AT THE CAMPUS. THEY’LL GO ON DISPLAY FROM 11AM TO 1PM THURSDAY IN THE STUDENT UNION. RICK DE REYES WITH A-B-Q RIDE SAYS THEY’VE BEEN GETTING PUBLIC INPUT ON THE SYSTEM SINCE FALL 2012.
HE TELLS US IT WOULD BE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT, AND MORE EFFICIENT. IT WOULD ALLOW ACCESS TO BUSES FROM A PLATFORM IN THE MEDIAN THAT WOULD BE LEVEL WITH THE BUS DOOR SO WHEEL CHAIRS COULD JUST ROLL IN. BIKES COULD ALSO BE HUNG FROM INSIDE THE BUS.
ACCESS TO THE BUS FROM THE MEDIAN WOULD ALLOW FOR STREETS AND MEDIANS TO BE LANDSCAPED.
