THE RIDESHARING COMPANY LYFT IS BACK IN NEW MEXICO … SPECIFICALLY IN ALBUQUERQUE. AND GOVERNOR MARTINEZ WELCOMES ITS RETURN.
LYFT LEFT THE STATE MORE THAN A YEAR AGO AFTER FIGHTING WITH THE PUBLIC REGULATION COMMISSION OVER WHETHER RIDESHARING COMPANIES COULD OPERATE IN THE STATE UNDER NEW MEXICO LAW AT THE TIME. THAT LAW CHANGED THIS YEAR AND GOVERNOR MARTINEZ SIGNED IT TO BRING RIDESHARING BACK.
ON TUESDAY, ALBUQUERQUE AND LYFT SIGNED A CONTRACT SO LYFT CAN OPERATE OUT OF THE SUNPORT. IT HAS STARTED ITS SUNPORT BUSINESS ON THURSDAY.
