Central Avenue and the North I-25 area as starting points

ART is a bus rapid transit system running primarily along Central Avenue. Balloon Fiesta Park and the North I-25 area mark Albuquerque's northern border and form a separate area from the Central Avenue corridor.

ART routes 766 Red Line and 777 Green Line share Central Avenue stations before splitting to different eastern endpoints. Named anchors on the shared portion include Old Town, Downtown, the University of New Mexico area, and Nob Hill.

Identify whether your trip centers on a fixed Central Avenue destination or an event in the North I-25 area before comparing hotels.

Alvarado Transportation Center serves rail and bus arrivals

Downtown Albuquerque Rail Runner station sits at 100 1st Street SW inside Alvarado Transportation Center. The center brings together Rail Runner Express, Greyhound, and Amtrak connections.

Because the center is an ART station on Central Avenue, arriving there on one of those services starts your Albuquerque planning with the Central Avenue corridor unless your trip is already fixed to the North I-25 area.
