Bus Bonanza: Your Ticket to Scenic Scootin'
Bustang, Colorado's champion of comfy coach travel, is your golden ticket. These snazzy purple buses boast WiFi, ample legroom, and – the best part – stunning mountain views as you zoom along. Pro Tip: Snag a window seat and pretend you're on a glamorous Hollywood tour, Colorado style.
There are multiple routes, so pick your poison (don't worry, it's not literal poison, unlike that time you tried that funky street vendor smoothie...). The most popular is the South Line, whisking you from Denver's Union Station to Colorado Springs in a breezy two hours.
Feeling fancy? Splurge on a first-class seat and recline like royalty while the world whizzes by. Just don't be surprised if your fellow passengers shower you with slightly jealous glances.
Tip: Read once for gist, twice for details.
Bustang on a Budget? We Got You Covered
Bustang isn't just for the high rollers. Snag a bargain fare, especially if you book in advance. Think of the money saved as your "Colorado Springs Souvenir Fund" – that fancy Pikes Peak coffee mug practically buys itself!
Be a Ride-Sharing Robin Hood: Sharing is Caring (and Saves Cash)
Feeling social? Hitch a ride with a buddy on a ridesharing app like Uber or Lyft. Splitting the fare is a fantastic way to save some green (pun intended) and maybe even make a new friend along the way. Just be sure your co-pilot isn't prone to carpool karaoke – unless, of course, you secretly have a killer voice.
Word to the Wise: Surges in pricing can happen, so plan accordingly and be flexible with your travel times.
Tip: Read at your natural pace.
