In late 2023, Albuquerque became the largest U.S. city to fully embrace fare-free public transportation. This decision came after nearly two years of a successful pilot program.
As ridership dwindled during the pandemic, the city expanded free rides from a few routes to the entire system. Barely a year later, ridership was up 49.4 percent and the program proved to be more cost-effective than previously imagined. Now, free fares are here to stay.
