N.M. State Fair gets a brand-new ride: Uber

Anyone planning to attend the upcoming New Mexico State Fair, set for Sept. 8-18, will have a new transportation option for the traffic-choking event – the Uber Lounge.

The State Fair’s Uber Lounge will be near Domingo Road and California Street NE – the same spot where Park & Ride customers used to arrive and depart the fair.

The “lounge” will be under a large shaded area with seating where Uber riders can relax while waiting for their ride. Mourning said refreshments will be available at the lounge.

“We’re going to create this really nice area” for Uber drop-offs and pickups. “It will be quick into the fair. We’ll have a special gate directly into the midway, and they can get their admission ticket right there and avoid any lines.”
