The University of New Mexico's Parking and Transportation Services department announced recently that reduced fare rates for UNM students, staff and faculty on the New Mexico Rail Runner express have been extended through Friday, Aug. 31. The reduced fare rates provide an average discount of about 50 percent, depending on the type of fare purchased.
To take advantage of the reduced fare, UNM users must show their Lobo or HSC/UNM Hospital identification card to the ticket agent shortly after boarding the train. An additional discount is available to users who purchase their Rail Runner tickets online.
