City of Socorro to launch microtransit service next month
EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — The City of Socorro will launch its own on-demand microtransit service next month, the City announced in a news release. This comes after the El Paso Transit Authority (ETA) announced that its buses will no longer stop in Socorro, starting July 1. Community meeting highlights end of transit service in Socorro The City of Socorro partnered with The Goodman Corporation to develop a Transit Development Plan (TDP) that focuses on providing transit services in better alignment with the community's needs, according to the news release. The City said the planning process — Socorro ¡Avanzando! — included assessing current transit services and identifying traffic needs and improvement options. The City also engaged people riding ETA's bus routes, community members, families, and stakeholders. The TDP's central recommendation is for the City to launch its own on-demand microtransit service by July 1, with the following features, according to the news release: Operated directly by the City using an existing vehicle fleet and TripMaster software. Service hours: Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. — excluding major holidays. Zero-fare service — initially, until demand requires adjustment. Same-day trips, with limited advance reservations. Target wait time: less than 30 minutes for 100 percent of riders. Ability to adapt service as demand and resources evolve. 'Microtransit will offer residents a more accessible, flexible, and responsive transit option compared to the infrequent and hard-to-access fixed-route bus services by ETA,' read the news release. The City said the Socorro ¡Avanzando! TDP is the 'City's independent study of transit's potential in Socorro as a matter of due diligence, to understand how best to improve transit and efficiently utilize limited public resources – to boldly envision 'What could, and should transit be in Socorro?'' In addition, the plan is grounded in the City's recent 2040 Comprehensive Plan process, according to the news release. 'Socorro is a welcoming community that celebrates diversity, preserves its rich culture and history, and fosters economic growth, environmental stewardship, and a high quality of life for residents and visitors alike. It stands as a symbol of unity and prosperity for future generations,' read the news release. ETA operates the regional bus system serving communities throughout the greater El Paso area. However, as we previously reported, in 2024, the City Council of Socorro voted not to enter into a service agreement with ETA. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Manchester City's three new FIFA Club World Cup kits revealed
The three kits to be introduced to the Manchester City squad for the FIFA Club World Cup have now surfaced on social media, while remaining unreleased at present. Pep Guardiola and his Manchester City players are due to return to first-team training from Monday ahead of the inaugural new edition of the Club World Cup – rebranded and expanded from the version that City claimed back in 2023. Advertisement 32 teams from across the globe will head to the United States with vast sums of prize money on offer as well as the tag of being the greatest club side on the planet, with Manchester City's place at the tournament confirmed via their UEFA Champions League win in Istanbul. But alongside the sporting merits on offer, there is also a staggering commercial gain to be had by clubs, and it seems as though decision makers within the Etihad Stadium and at manufacturers Puma are keen to capitalise. Despite only recently unveiling the brand new traditional sky blue and white home kit for the 2025/26 season, it is believed that Manchester City will unveil a further range of strips for the Stateside tournament later this month. Advertisement As revealed by Opaleak, Manchester City will have two unique shirts to be worn by their outfield players at the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup, both of which feature sash designs while one will invoke memories of the 2010/11 third kit. The likes of Ederson and Stefan Ortega Moreno will also be handed their own unique jersey and strip for the competition, as they will likely star in a bright combination of pink and purple in the United States. It remains to be seen how many new Manchester City stars will also be on show in the brand new shirts and kits at the upcoming Club World Cup, with two deals expected to be finalised and completed this weekend alone. Advertisement The last few days have seen Etihad Stadium officials intensify their efforts of strengthening Pep Guardiola's side ahead of the new season, with a strong intention of bringing in fresh faces in time for the US-based tournament. Among the faces expected to be ready and available after completing their respective transfers from AC Milan and Wolverhampton Wanderers are central midfielder Tijjani Reijnders, as well as left-sided full-back Rayan Ait-Nouri. City will also be hopeful of finalising and completing an arrangement with Lyon to recruit France international playmaker Rayan Cherki, particularly after his stellar showing against Spain in the UEFA Nations League on Thursday night.

Rayan Cherki chooses between Liverpool and Man City after Arne Slot meeting
Rayan Cherki has decided that he wants to join Manchester City this summer, as Lyon prepares to offload its star player. Cherki's current contract with the French club is due to expire next year, and City is expected to part with a transfer fee of between $39 million and $46 million to land the talented attacker, who had also been linked with Liverpool. Advertisement The 21-year-old has been highly regarded for several years due to his fantastic technique, and he is coming off the best season of his career, having netted 12 times in all competitions, which marks the first time he has reached double figures for goals. Cherki told L'Equipe in an interview this week that he is ready to leave Lyon. "I'm ready for any system. I work every day, physically and mentally, to be ready," Cherki said. "Above all, I'm trying to choose the best option for me, to develop as a person and a footballer."

But I'll say it: I did what I wanted to do at OL, be a true Lyonnais and give everything for my club. "I didn't leave the ship in difficulty. I stayed, I gritted my teeth. I cried, I laughed, I was scared. But a man has to be like that, it's part of his DNA. Even when it's hard, even when you cry, even when you're scared, you have to go to war for your club." Cherki's decision to join City comes after Arne Slot reportedly flew to the south of France last week to meet the player and discuss a possible transfer to Liverpool. According to The Athletic, the Liverpool head coach briefly left his vacation to conduct the meeting before negotiations with Florian Wirtz intensified. Advertisement The Reds are continuing to work on a deal to sign Germany international Wirtz, after it emerged last month that he had opted to join the Anfield club ahead of Bayern Munich. Liverpool will have to smash its transfer record to get a deal for Wirtz over the line, with reports suggesting it could take a bid of €150 million ($171 million) to pry the 22-year-old away from Bayer Leverkusen. That kind of fee would not only make him Liverpool's record signing — it would also make him one of the most expensive signings in soccer history: only Neymar and Kylian Mbappe have moved clubs for bigger transfer fees in the past. Wirtz's status as one of the most valuable players in the world is expected to be reflected in a monster salary at Liverpool, with German outlet Bild saying that his contract is set to be worth between $23 million and $25 million gross per season. That will make him Liverpool's third highest-paid player behind Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, who are both believed to earn well in excess of $25 million per year before tax.
