Fare-Free Rides Continue
Core Transit remains fare-free across nearly all routes, so go ahead, hop on, and enjoy the ride! Riders ages 18 and under can also ride free on every route this winter.
If you’re boarding or exiting in Gypsum (including the Eagle County Regional Airport) or Leadville, fares still apply. Not sure if your stop requires a fare? No problem! This winter, you’ll see clear new signage at all paying stops letting you know right away if fares are required. You can also scan the QR code at the stop to download the Core Tickets app and purchase your fare easily and instantly.
Winter Schedule Highlights
Valley Route East & West
We’re keeping the morning and mid-day Dotsero trips introduced this summer, along with the 1:05 a.m. trip from Vail Transportation Center to Eagle Valley High School.
Highway 6 Route East & West
We’re keeping the popular 1:05 a.m. trip from Vail and adding more eastbound daytime service.
Minturn Route
Four additional round-trips added this summer are staying for winter, keeping service levels consistent year-round. Bus Like a Pro Tip: Riders can also take the Leadville Route to access most Minturn stops, giving you more options to get where you need to go.
Leadville Route
We’re keeping the two additional trips on the east and west routes introduced this summer, giving riders the flexibility to enjoy a full winter day in Leadville or plan a mountain getaway. After hearing from our Leadville community, the last return bus from Vail now departs at 4:45 p.m., making it easier for riders to head home earlier.
Vail–Beaver Creek Express
Returning for the winter season to connect Vail Transportation Center, Avon Station, and Beaver Creek Village with the same smooth, dependable service riders love.
