I like to buy the physical monthly passes. If there’s a way to redeem this monthly pass by entering a code I think that would make a nifty tech feature really useful, so I don’t have to keep pulling out the physical paper pass. ### 3/5 — New Mexico visit *2018-11-08, version 6.2.37* The rides were nice and clearly pointed out from bus route schedule. We only had 2 transfer buses once from the airport to our location. ### 5/5 — Easy *2018-07-03, version 6.2.35* I was skeptical at first because this is such a new way to use the bus pass, but I found it easier and convenient because I had trouble with the print on my bus pad always fading or the bus pass not being read and holding up the line of people trying to get on the bus. I would sometimes almost lose the small and thin poster board bus pass. I am less likely to loose my phone. Since I have the ability to have my bus pass on my smartphone, I have found it easier to board the bus. A few people have asked me if I found it easier and I do. Some bus drivers are still new to this but they quickly get it. If you do have the option to use this app for your bus pass, I would try it out. ## Frequently asked questions about ABQRIDEtix ### What does the ABQRIDEtix app do?
