Schedule Changes & Service Improvements

Your Bus Route May Change! Starting December 13, 2025, ABQ RIDE is rolling out the first round of route improvements for the ABQ RIDE Forward Network Plan, a multi-year effort to improve and modernize transit service.

If you ride Routes 5, 8, 10, 11, 36, 53, 54, 66, or 198, your trip may look different. These updates are designed to make riding easier, with benefits such as increasing frequency and weekend service, reducing overlap for better coverage, and equitably increasing access for more community members to use public transit services.
