In addition, full capacity seating – 51 passengers - has returned to all Bustang coaches.  However, public safety measures will continue, including:

• Face masks required for drivers and passengers
• Additional personal protective equipment issued for drivers
• Hand sanitizer wipes offered to passengers when boarding the bus
• Coaches cleaned and disinfected upon completion of each route and after completion of each day’s routes, including all seats, safety belt buckles, head rests (front and back) and armrests

“The addition of these routes brings us very close to our pre-pandemic service levels,” said the Chief of the Colorado Department of Transportation’s Office of Innovative Mobility Kay Kelly. “To help ensure that we continue on this trajectory, we are continuing to follow federal law with respect to face masks, and are also asking passengers to please purchase tickets in advance, as much as possible, in order to minimize physical interactions with the drivers.”
