Albuquerque Rapid Transit - ART
ART is a free bus rapid transit system providing fast, reliable service along historic Route 66.
Albuquerque Rapid Transit (ART) is the City of Albuquerque’s bus rapid transit (BRT) service, operated by ABQ RIDE. ART runs primarily along Central Avenue, Albuquerque’s historic Route 66, connecting major destinations from the Central & Unser Transit Center on the west side through Downtown and Nob Hill to the Uptown Transit Center (red line) and the eastern end of Central (green line). Since launching service in November 2019, ART has become one of the most heavily used transit services in the region, carrying more than 2 million riders each year.
ART is designed to be faster, more reliable, and easier to use than a typical city bus. With frequent service, modern stations, and dedicated bus lanes, ART offers a convenient way to travel across Central Avenue for work, school, errands, and events.
