Steamboat Springs, Colorado-November 18, 2025-With snowflakes flying, temperatures dropping and ski areas open days on the horizon, Steamboat Springs Transit (SST) shifts gears into winter operations for the free local winter bus starting Saturday, November 29, 2025, and continuing daily through Sunday, April 12, 2026. Regional service also changes with the season to four daily departures.
The Main Line, one continuous loop between west Steamboat/downtown and the mountain area/condominiums, will again provide 30-minute continuous service in the early morning (5:54am to 8:09am) and evening (8pm to 12:29am). No transfer is required when the Main Line - Ski Area transitions to the Main Line - Condo bound bus.
During the bulk of the day, SST will again pair the Red Line (Mountain, Downtown, West Steamboat) with the Green Line (condominiums) running roughly between 7:30am and 8:54pm. Similarly, the Blue Line (Mountain, Downtown, West Steamboat) and Orange Line (south condominiums) will provide a loop connecting hotels/motels south of the ski area on US40, The Ponds and several condo properties to the Gondola Transit Center (GTC). The Blue/Orange Lines run approximately from 7:38am to 9:01am. This means there is a bus about every 10 minutes between the Red and Blue Lines.
The Yellow Zone, a free, on-demand ride service that gets you from point A to point B with the tap of a button returns. Simply download the Yellow Zone app in the Apple Store or Google Play and request on-demand rides within the service area from 7am-6:20pm, daily, which includes downtown and some of the surrounding neighborhoods. Transfers are required to go to West Steamboat, Ski Area, or Condominiums.
The Purple Line runs continuous loop service to the northern condominiums, Yampa Valley Medical Center, Central Park Plaza, and the gondola base. This route features service from 7:22am to 6:50pm and requires a transfer to other lines to reach downtown, condominiums or west Steamboat Springs.
SST’s Regional service between Steamboat Springs and Craig makes traveling between these communities convenient, affordable, and comfortable with three daily departures in each direction as well as reverse direction service. SST’s regional rates remain the same as last year.
