Let's Talk New Mexico: What's your take on our public transportation systems?

After suffering a steep decline during the COVID-19 pandemic, public transportation ridership has been growing steadily over the past several years. ABQ Ride, the state’s largest public transport provider, counted 8 million rides given over 2025, an increase of 11% over 2023. However, challenges remain. Many New Mexicans see public transportation as a dangerous option. This week on Let’s Talk New Mexico, we discussed what changes ABQ Ride and other public transportation options in the state are making to help New Mexicans get where they need to go, efficiently, safely and quickly. And we want your thoughts, too. How do you feel about the public transit in your part of New Mexico? Do high gas prices have you thinking more about using transit? How often do you use it?
