Rail Runner at 20: Cost or Commute? | Santa Fe News
Description
The Rail Runner Express turns 20, offering a scenic, stress-free commute between Belen and Santa Fe — a lifeline for riders who crave Wi-Fi, safety, and a break from the highway. While critics call it pricey and question its necessity, supporters argue it’s vital for regional mobility and economic activity, even if it rarely turns a profit. Ridership dipped during the pandemic but’s rebounding steadily. No route expansions are planned soon, but a new maintenance facility opening in 2028 could boost reliability and keep this beloved train running strong.
