Rural bus line eyed for Taos County residents
Taos County may receive about $200,000 from the state to fund a rural transport program. The plan envisions low cost rides into Taos for residents of outlying areas, with the old Farr's store as a potential transport department HQ. If a contract with Shop Rite Food is approved, the sheriff’s office would move to the former grocery store, while the old market would house the transit project building.
