free public transportation

We are fortunate to have two public transportation companies that provide FREE service to Crested Butte, Mt. Crested Butte, Gunnison, and points along Highway 135. We encourage you to use these services to keep roads safe and clear and to reduce parking congestion.

Over 43 Mountain Express buses have been painted throughout the years by local artists. A (mostly complete) photo gallery of the buses, as well as the artists who conceived and painted them, can be found at www.mtnexp.org/painted-bus-gallery.
