Routes & Schedules

ABQ Ride Routes

ABQ RIDE’s fixed route bus service is Albuquerque’s main public transit system. These buses run on set routes, at scheduled times, and stop at designated bus stops throughout the city. Fixed route buses are ideal for everyday travel like commuting to work or school, running errands, or getting to major destinations across Albuquerque.

How Fixed Route Buses Work

• Ride for free: All ABQ RIDE transit services are Zero Fares. 
• Routes are predetermined: Each bus follows a specific path through the city.
• Stops are fixed: Buses stop only at signed bus stops along the route.
• Schedules are published: Arrival times are planned and available on this web page and by using the Transit app.
• Open to everyone: Anyone can ride — no reservations required.

How to Read Route Maps and Timetables

1. Use the system map to find the route number you need. (To return to this window, hit the "Back" button on your browser.)
2. For the Route you are interested in, select either the "Weekday", "Saturday" or "Saturday and Sunday" choices to view the schedule.
   For example, say you live on San Mateo near Montgomery and you would like to travel to the VA Hospital. You are going to want to take Route 140/141 San Mateo. Download the Route 140/141 Guide, print it, and follow along.
3. Look on the route map to find the intersection nearest where you want to catch the bus. Check the time schedule for that intersection. If there is no exact time for your intersection plan on being at your stop at least five minutes before the time for the intersection prior to yours.
   Route 140/141 has a time point at San Mateo and Montgomery (letter E on the route schedule).
4. Now look on the route map to find the intersection nearest where you want to get off the bus. The San Mateo bus stops at the VA Hospital (letter I on the route schedule).
5. Look across the column of arrival times at the VA Hospital to find the time closest to when you want to arrive. Always read timetables from left to right, and be sure you are headed in the right direction on that schedule (East / West or North / South).
   Let's say you have an appointment at 11 a.m. The bus arrives at the VA Hospital at 10:49 a.m., giving you a little time to get inside and check in.
6. Now, look back across the column of arrival times until you come to the timepoint nearest the intersection (San Mateo and Montgomery, letter E) where you want to catch the bus. In this case, you would need to board the #140/141 bus at 10:29 a.m. - but be sure to be at your stop a little early.

Weekday & Weekend Service

Some routes do not run at all on weekends. Those that do usually have different schedules from weekdays. For routes that do run on weekends, the schedule is generally different for Saturday and Sunday. Each route schedule will indicate whether it is weekday or Saturday or Sunday service, so be sure to look on the correct schedule to get the correct times.
