advertisement
Yesterday, New Mexico's Rail Runner Express recorded it 2 millionth passenger.
The Rail Runner — which has become the fastest commuter-rail start-up in the past 20 years, according to the agency — currently carries an average of 4,500 passengers daily between Santa Fe and Belen. The line's first phase between Belen and Bernalillo opened in July 2006; a second phase from Bernalillo to Santa Fe opened in late 2008.
The New Mexico Department of Transportation and Mid-Region Council of Governments oversee the service.
