ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. —

The City of Albuquerque has announced that ABQ Ride is launching a once-in-a-generation plan to improve City bus routes.

The phased implementation of ABQ RIDE Forward will begin on Saturday, Dec. 13, with updates to nine bus routes that will account for about 10.6% of the plan’s 16-phase implementation. The other phases will take place over the next several years to ensure ABQ RIDE can meet staffing and fleet needs.
