Why choose between biking and riding the bus when you can do both?

Try mixing transit options:
• 🚲 Bike from home to your bus stop.
• 🚌 Ride the bus across town.
• 🚶 Walk the last few blocks to your destination.

Multimodal transportation is a great way to stay active and healthy while saving money and reducing traffic. And soon you'll be able to enjoy the Rail Trail alongside our downtown transit center to mix all your favorite modes of transportation together to get to major destinations in the downtown area!

Where will the bus take you today?

With ABQ RIDE’s Zero Fares program, riding the bus across ABQ is completely free. No tickets, no passes, and no digging for change.

That means more freedom to go where you need to go:
• 🚌 Commute to work or school.
• 🏥 Get to medical appointments.
• 🎓 Travel to colleges and universities.
• 🎭 Visit museums, events, and entertainment.
• 🛍 Run errands or meet friends around town.

Public transit helps connect our city, and Zero Fares makes it easier for everyone to ride.

Our team is proud to show off our progress in transit safety and security.

ABQ RIDE recently welcomed 17 City of Tucson officials for a two-day visit focused on transit safety, zero fares, community engagement, technology, and more. From facility tours and ride-alongs, to safety panels and conversations with our team, it was a great opportunity to share what we’ve learned and exchange ideas with our regional partners.

We’re proud of how far our safety program has come and glad for the opportunity for the chance to share our journey with our friends at Sun Tran. If even one idea from the visit helps them along their own safety journey, we consider it time well spent.
