@Ratedm2025 Thank you for your suggestion. It has been passed along to our Customer Service and Operations Departments.

@NMRXExpress Can you paint the parking lot at 550?

Our G2 Team is hard at work this morning power washing the Downtown Albuquerque Station to keep it clean, safe, and welcoming for riders.

@CarlosBurch Thanks for reaching out. That part of the facility is owned and maintained by the City of Albuquerque. Your suggestion has been passed along to our ops and customer service teams, but you might also want to call 311 to report it.

@NMRXExpress It would be nice if you power wash the montano under the carport. There's a whole bunch of bird poop

Effective April 1, 2026, Rio Metro Bus Route 366 will be permanently discontinued from service. We regret any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding as we work to improve overall service reliability and efficiency.

The Rail Runner isn’t just on the tracks… it’s on our walls and shelves too! From creative artwork to model trains, our admin office is full of unique pieces celebrating the train we love.
