New weekend service is being added to the state’s interregional bus service — — for its route between Denver and Glenwood Springs on Saturday, Nov. 21.
Bustang will offer one round trip on Saturdays and Sundays: Glenwood Springs to Denver in the morning, and Denver to Glenwood Springs in the late afternoon.
The success of the route on weekdays and strong public demand to add weekends fueled the need from Colorado’s first-ever, state-owned and operated bus system, say Colorado Department of Transportation officials. The route stops in Frisco, Vail, Eagle and Glenwood Springs.
“Bustang continues to help CDOT connect Coloradans to mulit-modal transportation system,” said CDOT executive director Shailen Bhatt. “Expanding Bustang is one more options for those who want travel alternatives.”
Passengers will be able to view the new west route schedule and other scheduling changes beginning Nov. 16 at .
Bustang was launched in July to provide bus service along the heavily traveled Interstate 25 and Interstate 70 corridors, connecting Fort Collins, Denver and Colorado Springs, and Glenwood Springs and Denver.
