The kiosk accepts credit and debit cards as well as the City of Albuquerque's Q-Card. ABQ RIDE Customer Service Center accepts cash, Visa, Mastercard or American Express for passes. No refunds on passes. Drivers don't carry money and can't open fareboxs. Fareboxs only accept coins (U.S. only), and $1 bills. ABQ RIDE fareboxes don't give change. Have exact change ready before boarding. Proper identification is required to purchase and use Silver Monthly Passes, Summer Fun Pass, and College Monthly Passes. Current school class schedule must be provided to purchase a College bus pass. Passes usually go on sale the 20th of each month for the following month. Passes aren't valid for special events. Most passes are prorated (half price) on the 16th of the month. Click here for some info about Rapid Ride: ;) Edited by Albu7253querque, Jun 16 2009, 10:27 AM.

That surprises me! SEPTA has those skyrocketing prices.... BTW 7253 was on the 18 today.
