ABQ Ride driver Xavier Martin鈥檚 routine starts at the Alvarado Transportation Center, where he gets behind the wheel and spends his shift shuttling people across the city. But lately, his buses haven鈥檛 felt so routine.

鈥淥ver the past couple weeks, it has been getting busier,鈥� Martin said. 鈥淚 see about a couple hundred people every day."

The city of Albuquerque reported last week that transit ridership numbers showed a 4% increase, reaching 8 million passenger boardings in the 2026 fiscal year across its four services: Albuquerque Rapid Transit, ABQ Ride Connect, Sun Van and the fixed route.

The numbers are close to pre-pandemic ridership levels, which were around 9 million rides per fiscal year. 

鈥淲e鈥檙e just excited that we鈥檙e able to help folks live their lives the best and to the fullest of their ability,鈥� said Bobby Sisneros, ABQ Ride deputy director.

Sisneros attributed the progress to ABQ Ride Forward. The initiative, launched in 2022, evaluates the performance of the city鈥檚 bus network. Since then, ABQ Ride has prioritized safety, cleanliness, weekend availability and frequent service, according to Sisneros.

鈥淲e want to continue working with the public and the community, get their feedback,鈥� Sisneros said. 鈥淗ow can we continue to make it more efficient, safer, cleaner and usable?鈥�

According to ABQ Ride鈥檚 2026 first quarterly report of transit safety, there was a 21% decrease in safety calls due to fewer incidents.

In 2025, the Journal reported that data showed most incidents occur at bus stops, but it could not point to which of the city鈥檚 1,800 bus stops the incidents were occurring at. However, a 2024 report showed routes along the Central corridor have about eight times more incidents compared to routes along Coors, San Mateo, Wyoming and Montgomery. 

鈥淭here鈥檚 a lot of crime happening in the bus stops,鈥� said Jennifer Fogelman, an Albuquerque resident who uses the bus almost every day.

鈥淏ut I have seen more security. They鈥檙e checking you on the bus for weapons and stuff, they just started that,鈥� she said.

Fogelman said she has also seen an increase in ridership, noticing around 20 more people per bus.

The growing number of passengers can sometimes feel overwhelming to drivers. However, Martin said seeing ridership increase gives him a reason to keep driving.

鈥淓verybody鈥檚 got a place to be, everybody鈥檚 got things to do, and it matters to them just as much as you going home to see your family,鈥� Martin said.

ABQ Ride hopes to reach pre-pandemic levels by the end of 2027 by continuing the rollout of ABQ Ride Forward.
