ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – ABQ Ride said it made a big dent in its staffing shortage. The City of Albuquerque’s Transit Department said it made 38 job offers to potential employees at its latest rapid hire event on Friday, including 22 bus drivers. They will be brought on as long as they pass their physical exam.
From there, they will start their training afterward. Friday was one of the most successful hiring fairs that ABQ Ride has hosted. The department said that if they don’t improve their staffing numbers, they are at risk of cutting service.
