Albuquerque Alvarado Transportation Center — Attraction in Albuquerque

We decided to go up to Santa Fe for the day so we had to catch the very cheap Rail Runner from ABQ station downtown. When we arrived by ride share it didn’t feel safe. The train station sits behind the greyhound station and the metro bus station is to the left. For you to find the train platform you need to go behind the greyhound station and you will see a sign for Amtrac and for Rail runner but no information telling you what track of the 5 is Southbound and what part is Northbound. This station/platform has no directions on what track is what so here you go as we learned the hard way and got on the southbound train not the northbound. The Northbound train to Santa Fe comes on track 2 platform and the Southbound train comes on Track 1 closest to the station. Pay close attention to if your train goes all the way to Santa Fe or back to ABQ downtown as some don’t go past ABQ downtown. The area the station is in has a lot of homeless people and drunks it didn’t feel safe at all. There was 1 police car a few streets down and when we returned, they were at the station. It is so cheap to get a day pass its $5 unlimited, so I recommend that. You can buy it online and have it for when you board or buy on the train.

There is an extensive homeless population around the station, all of which were kind and kept to themselves. The station was as clean as a public transportation area could be and highly secure! Multiple security guards and countless staff members are around every corner if you require assistance. You'll be on your way instantly, especially if you're riding the Amtrak; the train is a hop, skip, ramp, and jump from...
