Bus

RTD released real-time information to the public on Dec. 31, 2015. The beta phase includes real-time prediction arrivals for all RTD local buses and published vehicle location information on all fixed bus routes. RTD also made the data available to the public for 3 ^rd party developers to use and create mobile applications. Transit App is the first mobile app to use the real-time data feed to provide real-time prediction arrivals for RTD local bus routes. Transit App also has the capability of displaying the vehicle location information for local and regional buses.

RTD expects their real-time data feed to go live with Google in the coming month. Real-time prediction arrivals for regional bus, light rail, and commuter rail will be available later this year and in 2017. Also in 2016, arrival predictions will be made available on existing public information displays (PIDs) at Table Mesa Station (PnR), Downtown Transit Station, and Boulder Junction at Depot Square Station.

City staff is working with RTD to integrate HOP real-time information into RTD’s real-time information system. Until then, HOP real-time information is available at www.boulderbustracker.com or by downloading the CU Bus Tracker app for Apple or Android smart phone systems.

If you find issues with some local routes that you don't see the real time info for, please send the details to customer-care@rtd-denver.com and RTD will look at the issue and provide you with information related to the particular issue. You can learn more about RTD’s real-time system at http://www.rtd-denver.com/mobile.shtml .

The Climb Bus Schedule

The Gold Hill Climb provides bus service to western Boulder County along the Fourmile Canyon and Gold Hill communities.

In January 2016, RTD launched its new Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service on U.S. 36. This service was added as part of the FasTracks program approved by voters in 2004. Each new Flatiron Flyer bus will comfortably seat 57 people and carry six to eight bikes, providing a frequent, reliable, and fast travel option between Boulder, Broomfield, Westminster, Denver, and points in-between. During the morning and afternoon rush hours, riders can expect a bus every 4 to 12 minutes, depending on the location.

One of the key advantages of riding the Flatiron Flyer is that these buses can travel in the U.S. 36 Express Lanes, in the general purpose lanes, or on the highway shoulder to pass slow-moving traffic, depending on stop locations and traffic congestion. Other passenger amenities, like ticket vending machines at the stations, will allow riders to pay for their bus fare before boarding and electronic screens will display schedule information.

For more information on the U.S. 36 BRT and Express Lanes, visit the Flatiron Flyer website

The new express bus service connecting Boulder, Longmont, Loveland and Fort Collins began in January 2016. Transfort, the city of Fort Collins' transit department, operates the year-round, Monday through Friday service. The new branch of the FLEX route is made possible by a grant from the Denver Regional Council of Governments received by Boulder County.
