Get around ABQ easier by downloading Apps

Smartphone users are now having an easier time navigating around Albuquerque, all thanks to the available apps offered for free. Download the apps today to get about 30 seconds accuracy of how long the next bus will be arriving.

Since this past June free apps for the iPhone, Android and Windows smartphone users have been able to download City of Albuquerque/ABQ RIDE data. Mayor Richard J. Berry's Open Data Initiative allowed the development of services and apps for public use.

ABQ RIDE App is currently available for free to iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users and is so far the most downloaded app with more than 4,000 downloads since June of 2012. As it was developed by an Albuquerque-based company, APPCityLife, Inc., the app is able to share where the bus is within about 30 seconds. The app also features ABQ RIDE's website, bus schedules, fares, and related websites.
