Routes - Summer - April 13 through Nov. 27

SST bus leaving stop on Lincoln AvenueSteamboat Springs Transit (SST) is officially into its traditional summer service for the free bus. SST summer service enjoys similar routes as last season with a few minor changes to times for a couple of stops.

“Who doesn’t love the free bus that connects people to the places they love to go?” said Transit Manager Jonathan Flint. “SST carries more than one million riders each year and remains one of the most efficient rural transit systems in Colorado. Hop aboard and leave the driving to us again this summer.”

Steamboat Springs Transit (SST) will continue operating its familiar system of routes, but with increased frequency throughout the day and evening. Early morning buses will run every 30 minutes, daytime service every 15 minutes and evening service every 20 minutes.

The Main Line — the system’s primary daytime route connecting west Steamboat, downtown and the mountain — will operate as a continuous loop with 15-minute service and no transfers required. Night Line service returns for the summer, running every 20 minutes from about 8 pm to 11:30 pm. 

Buses are equipped with bike racks, allowing riders to combine transit with cycling during the summer months. Real-time bus tracking is available through the RouteShout app, and trip planning can be done through Google Maps.

West End - High Volume Service

During the summer months, traffic volumes often increase significantly with visitor traffic and construction work zones. When buses are delayed due to construction and heavy traffic, an extra bus on the west end of town will be utilized to help with operations. 

When this occurs, passengers will need to transfer to and from the West End bus at the Stockbridge Transit Center. This will occur for both passengers heading westbound and eastbound (towards downtown and the mountain). 

Please take this into account when planning trips and give yourself a little extra time to get to your destination during periods of heavy traffic (morning and evening commutes, holidays, weekends).
