FOR MORE THAN TEN YEARS, YOU’VE BEEN ABLE TO HOP ON A D-RIDE BUS TO GET AROUND DOWNTOWN ALBUQUERQUE FOR FREE. BUT THAT SERVICE ENDED ON SATURDAY …ONE OF SEVERAL ROUTE AND SCHEDULE CHANGES NO IN EFFECT.
A-B-Q RIDE SPOKESMAN RICK DE REYES SAYS, FOR ONE THING, THE D-RIDE WAS PUT IN PLACE TO ACCOMMODATE RAIL RUNNER PASSENGERS WHO NEEDED TO GET TO THE ALVARADO TRANSPORTATION CENTER. DE REYES SAYS ELIMINATING THE D-RIDE ALLOWS FOR MORE SERVICE ELSEWHERE… INCLUDING RUNNING MORE BUSES ON THE WEEKEND ON THE SAN MATEO ROUTE…THE MOST PRODUCTIVE A-B-Q RIDE ROUTE.
