The ABQ RIDE 6600-series consists of six New Flyer Industries DE60LF buses. Built in late 2006 and entering service in early 2007, these buses were added on to the Rapid Ride fleet in preparation for the start of the Rapid Ride Blue Line in the summer of 2007. These buses are mostly overall similar to the 6400-series buses, with the main differences being the style of windows (tip-in vs. sliding windows), and different seat cloths. These were also the first buses to include GFI Genfare Odyssey validating fareboxes, which have since been retrofitted onto the existing ABQ RIDE fleet in 2009.
All 6600-series buses are based at the Daytona Transit Facility on the Albuquerque Westside, alongside the 700-series, 6400-series, and 6900-series.
