The RGS buses circulate between the Glenwood Springs Mall and the Roaring Fork Marketplace, with many stops in between. Especially convenient for visitors are stops near the Ramada Inn, a neighborhood brimming with accommodations and near some of the town’s major attractions; there are also stops in downtown Glenwood Springs and stops close to shopping areas including Glenwood Meadows and local grocery stores.
RGS buses are ADA compliant, cost just $1, not including transfers, and seniors 65 plus and children five and under ride for free.
Sorry, no bikes are allowed on RGS buses.

If riding at night, just wave the white reflective paddle attached to the bus stop to signal the driver.
