Free Shuttle

With the Crested Butte Town Shuttle and Crested Butte Mountain Express, there's no need for a car. The shuttles run the 3 miles between Mt. Crested Butte and the historic town from many convenient locations, and it's free.

The ski season Town Shuttle route (schedule, map, ) connects Crested Butte and Mt. Crested Butte. This route operates every 15 minutes and it is a six to seven minute ride from Mt. Crested Butte to the 4-Way stop in Crested Butte. The bus stops are conveniently located throughout the Town of Crested Butte. The first stop is the "4-Way Stop" located at the eastern end of the Elk Avenue Shopping district. The "Old Town Hall" is four blocks west on Elk avenue. The other main stops include the "Nordic Center" and "6th & Belleview" where the grocery store is located.

There are three routes that serve most of the condominiums in Mt. Crested Butte with frequencies of 15 and 30 minutes during the ski season. Each of these routes connects with the Town Shuttle at the base area of the ski resort (known as Mountaineer Square) in Mt. Crested Butte.
