Residents and commuters in the city have been facing disruptions since the City's phone lines went out of service last Friday, an issue that persists into the workweek. According to the City of Las Cruces, as of 8:30 a.m., the phones remain offline. City officials are working alongside their telecom vendor to restore services swiftly, keenly aware of the trouble this is causing many.

The communication breakdown has hit the public transport system, with Roadrunner Transit and Vamonos unable to receive calls through the City's phone system. The inconvenience comes at a time when reliable transport information is critical for city dwellers navigating the urban landscape. However, there appears to be a temporary salve while the city scrambles to reconnect; transit users are being directed to the Passio real-time bus location app for up-to-date information regarding Roadrunner's fixed route services.

For additional details and updates, the city urges the public to visit their website, where they have provided resources to mitigate the impact of the phone outage. Travelers can find pertinent information by visiting the City's official announcement. This platform serves as an interim navigator for those seeking to make their way through the city's arteries by bus.
