With summer in full swing, the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) is making it easier than ever to use its Bustang service while traveling the I-70 mountain corridor, offering additional trips per day and enhancing the passenger experience for residents and visitors.
“We continually invest in our public transportation services to make it as convenient as possible for residents and visitors alike to get around the state,” said Paul DesRocher, CDOT’s Director of the Division of Transit and Rail. “Timed for the summer travel season, we have added trips to our most popular lines, introduced new coaches to the fleet, resumed our Estes Park service, and have special Pegasus shuttle van ticket offers throughout the summer to make it easier for people to enjoy the best of what Colorado has to offer.”
“Demand for public transportation between Denver and mountain communities along I-70 continues to grow,” said Margaret Bowes, I-70 Coalition Director. “The Coalition is pleased that CDOT has expanded Bustang service on the West Line to include additional daily routes, giving riders additional flexibility in planning their trip.”
2024 Summer Travel Enhancements
Service Expansion: This summer, CDOT is expanding three of its most popular Bustang routes. This includes four additional trips on the West Line between Denver and Glenwood Springs, two additional trips on the South Line between Denver and Colorado Springs, and one additional trip on the North Line between Denver and Fort Collins. Additionally, CDOT has adjusted the timing on its North Line holiday and weekend schedules for added convenience.
Pegasus Ticket Offers: The Pegasus shuttle van offers year-round daily express service along the I-70 mountain corridor originating at Denver’s Union Station and stopping at the Federal Center. Summer promos include 25% off tickets for travel from July 13 – 31 with promo code JULY25. Pegasus utilizes the I-70 Express Lanes at no additional cost, meaning riders can avoid traffic queues in the general purpose lanes.
New Coaches: CDOT is introducing 25 new coaches to its Bustang fleet. This investment underscores CDOT’ commitment to providing safe, reliable, and comfortable transportation alternatives. All Bustang coaches are equipped with a restroom, bike racks, Wi-Fi, power outlets, and USB ports, as well as gear storage under the coach – perfect for family travel and adventure enthusiasts.
