[Colorado-talk] Bus service between Denver, Colorado Springs rolls forward

[Gary Van Dorn]

Zach,

No, Greeley is not one of the stops.  The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) will sponsor bus service between Denver and Colorado Springs, Denver and Fort Collins, and Denver and Glenwood Springs.  The latest information I have is service will begin on 1 March 2015.  CDOT would like to add service to Greeley and Pueblo in the future; however, they need to ascertain how service will work on the three routes mentioned.  All buses going to Denver will terminate at Union Station.  I do not have any information at this time on other stops along the way.  Service is only during rush hour at this time.  Again, CDOT hopes to expand service based upon how the public accepts the service.  

I do know the bus going to Fort Collins will stop at the Bus Transit Center near Harmony Road and I-25.  It is my comprehension this across I-25 from the Costco and Walmart in Timneth.  One thing CDOT made very clear to me is stops are subject to change.  I found an article from KUNC <http://www.kunc.org/post/cdot-open-house-talks-express-bus-service-i-25-managed-lanes> bus service which also includes information on managed lanes from 120th Avenue to CO Highway 7.  It is my plan to send information to Colorado Talk once I have definitive information from CDOT.  

I do not know if it is possible for those residing in Greeley to get to Fort Collins via public transit.  I hope so.
