Hello, I was wondering if there was actually any form of public transportation in Roswell. I will be taking a visit there pretty soon to decide whether or not I want to accept a well-paying job there. I have searched around on the internet but have found nothing regarding any public transportation in the area. I'm thinking that I may end up renting when I fist get there and eventually buying something cheap and used as my car is pretty much on its last legs. I couldn't find anything on the net, so I figured it was best to ask people who actually live there. So, yea or nay? Thanks in advance .
They do. I live in western Colorado but have a friend who lives south of there. I've been through there many times. They've had buses running for many many years.
They're known as Pecos Valley Transit and are located on 5th and Main downtown. Phone # is 575-624-6766. You also might want to try City of Roswell, NM City Government Have not looked at the site in a long time but surely they would have info on rates, bus schedules and routes, etc. Other people who may help you with other questions about the area might be the chamber of commerce (phone # 575-623-5695.)

Here is a web page for Pecos Trails Transit that shows the five bus routes they service. Not sure how up to date this information is - seems awful sparse. But it gives a good idea of what is available. Note there are also "vans on demand" for those needing point to point service.

There is public transportation here, it is Pecos Trails. There is also a taxi service, but they are very expensive, and somewhat unreliable.

Reason: No advertising, it was edited out.
As a side question, does anyone know what types of buses does Pecos Trails Transit operate? I know that they once had some 35-foot TMC RTS buses; don't know if that is still the case.
ABQ RIDE operates a fleet mostly consisting of New Flyer diesel-electric hybrid low-floor buses, with some Neoplan high-floor and Thomas SLF low-floor CNG buses.
Santa Fe Trails operates a mix of Blue Bird CSRE, and ElDorado National EZ Rider II MAX and Passport models, all powered by CNG.
Roadrunner Transit in Las Cruces operates a fleet mostly consisting of Gillig Low Floor buses, with some Nova RTS high-floor buses.
Does anyone know about Pecos Trails Transit's fleet?
Plenty of room to ride in, because all of the buses are usually empty. Bus service is very sparse here.
