Comments sought on expanding Bustang services

The Colorado Department of Transportation is surveying Bustang passengers to assess the feasibility of expanding bus services, including services along Interstate Highway 70 between Grand Junction and Denver.

“Demand for additional trips has spiked, and we are conducting an on-board questionnaire to determine the best expansion options to facilitate the needs of Bustang riders. Feedback is incredibly valuable for this study,” said Brian Metzger, assistant director for transit planning and delivery for the Colorado Department of Transportation.

Service also could be expanded along Interstate Highway 25 between Fort Collins and Denver as well as Denver and Colorado Springs.

Surveys are available in English and Spanish when passengers log onto the Bustang wireless network. Advertisements with a link and QR code also will be posted inside Bustang buses. Passengers who respond to the survey will be eligible to receive Visa gift cards.
