    Our local transit / bus company has started a new route called Rapid Ride. This route follows Central Avenue / Old Route 66 through various neighborhoods including the west side, Old Town, downtown, the University area, Nob Hill, all the way to the Wyoming ..... a great option if you hate looking for parking or prefer to be a passenger :) They just announced the extension of Rapid Ride services on Friday and Saturday nights until 3 a.m. from Memorial Day weekend through September. Rapid service will run every 10 minutes until 8 p.m. and then every 20 minutes between 8 p.m. and 3 a.m. Passengers using Rapid After Dark will be able to use their monthly bus pass or pay the $1 fare.

    Albuquerque Rapid Ride is fast and cheep. Round Trip is one Dollar. The Bus Runs till 8 pm during the week. Destinations served by Rapid Ride include the Biopark, Old Town,Downtown, Presbyterian Hospital, University of New Mexico, Nob Hill, International Market, NM Expo at the State Fairgrounds, and Uptown. Consider driving to a free park and ride and then boarding Rapid Ride After Dark Friday and Saturday nights until 3 a.m. from Memorial Day weekend through September A security guard is stationed on each Rapid After Dark vehicle The bus goes east to west from Wyoming to Unser and stops at Uptown near Corando Mall. My daughter and I ride the bus from Uptown Bus Staion to Downtown Albuquerque for the Summer Fest during the summer. It is a fun and easy way to get Downtown and not have to drive.

  • Alvarado Station - Albuquerque
    Alvarado Station
    by JamesABQ

    In the center of the city, in downtown, sits the Alvarado Transportation Center. This newly built structure will serve as the hub for transportation in Albuquerque. Here, people will be able to catch the city bus, or perhaps a taxi. Greyhound, wich currently sits across the street from the center, will also move in and operate from there in the future. Amtrak also makes stops here and will have an office in the center when the second phase of the project is built. When Light Rail is up and running in the city, the rail will operate from and make stops at the center. Many bike racks are located here for bike riders to park their bikes while they attend to business in downtown. Built to look like the old Alvarado train station and hotel, the Alvarado Transportaion Center will serve almost all forms of transportation in and out of Albuquerque, New Mexico.

    I took a bus down from Denver and a train back to Chicago. I would say that whatever your tastes, bus or train, do not miss the beautiful landscapes of New Mexico by taking an airplane. Wherever you are, if your schedule allows it, it's worth the extra couple of hours it will take you to get there.

    Amtrak makes daily stops in Albuquerque. True this isn't a picture of Amtrak but you get the idea.

  • The Lounge - Albuquerque
    The Lounge

    Definitely the most comfortable way to get here. The coach is a lot more comfortable than on any bus or plane, plus you have a dining car, a cafe car and a lounge car. Can't beat it. Unless you're willing to pay for a sleeper car, but that's expensive.
