Catch the Bus - Albuquerque

Chris Hughes

About this app

Catch the Bus shows real time information about local buses.


Previously known as "Albuquerque Where's the Bus". Currently only shows data for Albuquerque.


When the user selects a stop nearby the app shows the scheduled times for buses to arrive at that stop. If real time information is available about the bus that is scheduled to arrive at that time, the app will also predict whether that bus will be on time or how late it will be. The user can then click on the scheduled time to see a real-time location for that bus.

Ratings and reviews

For someone w/ limited transportation options, using the bus system in a sprawling western city is terrible. This app is absolutely vital to planning your trip on the go, it makes all the difference whether it's worth it to wait or just walk, & it helps you make sure you'll catch the last bus home. I would be completely lost & stranded without it. 2022 edit: idk if the app is sunsetting since ABQ Ride contracted with Transit, but thank you for your years of running this app!!

It took me only a few minutes to figure out how this app works. It is simple and helpful. Yes, the buses are not always on time, but this app indicates almost exactly when the bus will arrive at a stop. Totally eliminates guesswork. This app, along with free rides, makes using the bus system quite nice.

The app displays info it receives from the ABQ Ride system, which is usually somewhat accurate, but sometimes way off. Some lines and stops don't even report. Thus, the app is mildly reliable. It's an ambitious endeavor. It would be nice to be able to sort Favorites so they are in some type of order.
