Alvarado Transportation Center Trains & Buses Review

In the center of the city, in downtown, sits the Alvarado Transportation Center. This newly built structure will serve as the hub for transportation in Albuquerque. Here, people will be able to catch the city bus, or perhaps a taxi. Greyhound, wich currently sits across the street from the center, will also move in and operate from there in the future. Amtrak also makes stops here and will have an office in the center when the second phase of the project is built. When Light Rail is up and running in the city, the rail will operate from and make stops at the center. Many bike racks are located here for bike riders to park their bikes while they attend to business in downtown. Built to look like the old Alvarado train station and hotel, the Alvarado Transportaion Center will serve almost all forms of transportation in and out of Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Car Best Way to Get Around, For Now Car Travel Review

Although there are many ways to get to the city, such as airplane, bus and train, getting around the city is a different story. Albuquerque lacks when it comes to public transportation. There are many bike trails throughout the city but travelers would have a hard time finding them. Bus is ok, if you don't mind the wait. Taxi's are also avaliable but you can't flag them down like in larger cities, here you have to call them to come pick you up. They will charge an arm and a leg to take you to your destination, wherever that may be. Light Rail, there are plans to build a Light Rail system but that won't happen until 2006. So the best thing I can recommend for getting around the city is car. At least until something better comes up.
