MyBlue™: Your Modern Mobility Solution
North Central RTD has started “MyBlue™,” a revolutionary on-demand ridesharing system serving Taos and Española, New Mexico. With the MyBlue™ app, you can book rides from your smartphone, track your journey in real-time, and make hassle-free payments – all for just $1.00 from origin to destination. And good news! For a limited time as we launch this service, we are waiving all fares!
Service
Monday through Friday
The MyBlue™ shared ride service operates in three service zones:
- Taos Zone: Taos, within Taos within a 2-mile radius from the 340 Chile Line from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
- Española Zone: Within a 15-mile radius of the Española Transit Center fom 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Blue Bus™ Transit Operators will drive either a Blue Bus™ or MyBlue™ microtransit van that may be shared with other passengers. Trips between zones may require a transfer to a bus route.
one-way
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
Trips have been free as we introduce this new service, but we will be implementing a $1.00 fare one-way on October 12, 2024.
Rides within the Pojoaque/Nambé Zone will continue to be free until you leave the zone.
