Where Can We Take You?

For 20 years, the Blue Bus has been connecting communities across Northern New Mexico with safe, reliable, and fare-free transit. Covering approximately 10,118 square miles, our network of 26 fixed routes and four demand-response services ensures that riders can travel from the Colorado border to the Town of Edgewood. 

Our signature Blue Buses operate in four counties—Los Alamos, Rio Arriba, Santa Fe, and Taos—proudly providing fare-free bus service to an estimated population of 241,371 citizens across 74 communities as well as providing seamless connections to key transit systems such as the New Mexico Rail Runner Express, Santa Fe Trails, NMDOT Park and Ride, Los Alamos Atomic City Transit, Po’Pay Messenger Transit, Red River Miner’s Transit, and Red Apple Transit in Farmington. Whether you need to commute to work, visit family, or enjoy a scenic adventure, we have a route for you!
