SST Summer Routes & Service Shift Into Gear April 10
Main Line & Night Line Schedule Runs Through November 24, 2023
STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, COLORADO-April 4, 2023-Steamboat Springs Transit (SST) will officially shift into its traditional summer service for the free bus starting Monday, April 10 even as the ski area stays open one week longer. SST summer service enjoys similar routes as last season with a few minor changes to times for a couple of stops.
“The free bus connects people to the places they love to go across Steamboat Springs,” commented Transit Manager Jonathan Flint. “SST moves more than one million riders a year and operates one of the most efficient rural transportation systems in the state so hop aboard and leave the driving to us this summer.”
The Main Line sees one continuous loop between west Steamboat/downtown and the mountain. This line provides convenient 20-minute service throughout the day with no transfer required. Whether you are a die-hard two-wheel commuter or recreational bike rider, SST’s local fleet is fitted with bike racks should you run out of gas or need that extra lift.
The first Main Line buses of the day depart The Ponds at 6:18 a.m. (Hotel & Condos), Gondola Transit Center (GTC) at 6:38 a.m. (town-bound) and at 6:40 a.m. from Stockbridge (mountain-bound). The last departures of the day leave Stockbridge at 7:40 p.m., The Ponds at 7:58 p.m. and GTC at 8:18 p.m.
The Night Line returns with 30-minute service with the first and last bus from Stockbridge at 8 p.m./11 p.m., The Ponds at 8:18 p.m./11:18 p.m. and the GTC at 8:38 p.m./11:38 p.m.. Again, this summer, SST will not travel into Ski Time Square, and passengers should use the GTC stop.
The successful Yellow Zone, a free, on-demand ride service, transitions from winter to summer. Simply download the app and request on-demand rides within the service area from 7am-6:20pm. The Yellow Zone includes downtown Steamboat and many surrounding neighborhoods. Transfers are required to go to West Steamboat, the Ski Area, or Condominiums
SST’s Regional service between Steamboat Springs and Craig makes traveling between these communities convenient, affordable, and comfortable with two daily departures in each direction as well as reverse direction service. The bus begins with a full loop around Craig and then heads to Steamboat Springs at 5:15 a.m. and 6:15 a.m. In the afternoon, the coach departs the GTC heading west at 4:25 p.m. and 5:25 p.m. SST’s regional rates remain the same as this past summer.
