Walking in Albuquerque
Walking for short commutes is an excellent way to stay active, enjoy fresh air, and connect with your community. Plus, it’s a great chance to catch up on podcasts or listen to a new album. Choosing a pedestrian-friendly location can help you make walking a natural part of your routine.

Use Albuquerque’s Free Bus System
Public transportation benefits everyone. By taking the bus, you help reduce road traffic, lower pollution levels, and save money on your commute. Albuquerque’s bus system is completely free and offers many programs to make renters’ commutes easier:
- Park and Ride: Leave your car or bike in a designated lot for free before hopping on the bus.
- Guaranteed Ride Home: Many shy away from public transportation for fear of being stranded in an emergency. This program ensures you won’t be stranded- the city will send a free ride to get you home.
When you live at Platinum Apartments, you have access to the entire city right outside your door. With 10 bus stops within a 10-minute walk, the closest one just three-minutes away, public transit is always close at hand.
Explore Albuquerque on Your Bike
Biking is a free and fulfilling way to explore Albuquerque. The city has numerous bike lanes and trails, ensuring safety and ease for cyclists. For longer trips, ABQ Ride’s Rapid Transit buses have bike racks inside the bus, while regular buses have bike racks on the front.
At Platinum Apartments, your biking lifestyle is supported with secure bike racks and easy access to Nob Hill’s bike-friendly streets. Albuquerque is one of the most bicycle-friendly cities in the U.S., with Nob Hill being a popular spot for biking.
Use the Train
For trips outside the city, the Rail Runner Express is a convenient and affordable option. Running through Albuquerque, the train goes as far north as Taos and as far south as Socorro. Tickets are available as daily or monthly passes, making exploring New Mexico both easy and budget friendly.
