Sharing your ride
The MyBlue™ service is a first-come, first-served shared ride service similar to Uber or Lyft. Passengers may have to share a vehicle with other passengers to optimize the efficiency of the service. Shared rides may extend your travel time so please plan your trip accordingly. All riders must request a ride through the app or by calling us; we do not allow walk-ups to ensure that scheduled rides are not delayed.
Fares
MyBlue™ fares are $1 per trip in Edgewood, Española and Taos. Rides within the Pojoaque/Nambé Zone free until you leave the zone. Pay conveniently in the MyBlue™ app or provide $1 in exact cash to your driver. Drivers cannot make change.
