Show Notes
Colorados Bustang bus system, a budget-friendly and reliable transportation option between rural towns and cities, has seen a significant increase in ridership, reaching 353,000 passengers in fiscal year 2025. The service, which started in 2015, has expanded to include remote routes, ski shuttles, and commuter vans, thanks to state and federal funding. However, a looming funding gap of $34 million by 2030 threatens its future. Despite this, Bustang remains a vital service for low-income workers, essential for keeping roads safe and reducing pollution.
