The Faces Behind the Blue Bus

This week marks the start of Blue Bus Transit Employee Appreciation Week, a time to recognize the dedicated Blue Bus team members who make fare-free transit possible for our communities. From our drivers and dispatchers to our fleet and facilities crew and office staff, every single person plays a vital role in keeping the Blue Bus running smoothly.

What is Blue Bus Transit Employee Appreciation Week?

Blue Bus Transit Employee Appreciation Week is a special moment each year to recognize the drivers, mechanics, dispatchers, and behind-the-scenes staff who help our community members get where they need to go—safely, smoothly and with a smile.

From early mornings to snowy roads, our team shows up and goes the extra mile (literally!) to serve our communities. This week is all about saying thank you to the people who keep us connected.

Why It Matters

Transit isn’t just about buses, it’s about people. Our Blue Bus team members work every day, making sure you can get to work, school, medical appointments, the grocery store, and back home again. They keep us connected, and when we take a moment to share our appreciation, it reminds them how much they matter to all of us.

Our Blue Bus Team

It takes a hardworking and passionate team to keep the Blue Bus moving, and every department plays a vital role in serving our communities.

Our drivers navigate the roads, our operations team support our drivers and overall service, and our Customer Service Representatives help our riders book rides, plan their trips and provide them with helpful information.

Behind the scenes, our Fleet and Facilities team keep our buildings, bus stops, MyBlue™ vans and buses clean, safe and operational.

The administrative team, our Finance, Marketing, Planning, Legal and Human Resources departments work together to ensure the Blue Bus continues to provide a reliable, fare free service.

Though we each have different responsibilities, we are all working toward the same goal: connecting people to the places they need to go. Whether it’s ensuring a bus is on time, maintaining vehicles, assisting riders, or planning future routes, every team member contributes to making public transit possible.

Together, we’re more than just a transit system. We’re a community. And this week, we celebrate the people who make it all happen!

To every Blue Bus team member: thank you for your hard work, dedication, and commitment to serving our communities. We appreciate everything you do to keep north central New Mexico connected.
