Bustang is revamping its stops in Colorado Springs, relocating to the Downtown Terminal and terminating its stop at the Tejon Park-n-Ride in south Colorado Springs. This change will improve the service and address declining ridership and safety concerns negatively affecting passengers and service at the Tejon location.

The last day for service at Tejon is November 30.

Beginning December 1, the southern terminus for Bustang’s Denver route (South Line) and Bustang Outrider’s northern terminus from Pueblo will be relocated to the Colorado Springs Downtown Terminal at 127 E. Kiowa St. An alternative stop is the Woodmen Park-n-Ride, at the southwest corner of the Interstate 25 and Woodmen Road Interchange (Exit 149).

“Our customers have been clear that this change in location will make it a smoother, safer and more reliable trip on our South and Outrider lines. Safety issues have become a persistent problem at the Tejon location and are negatively impacting our service and customers,” said CDOT Division of Transit and Rail Director Paul DesRocher. “By moving this connection to the Downtown Terminal, it’ll improve the experience for not only our Bustang and Outrider passengers but also our bus operators. The Downtown Terminal is a safer location.”

Service was doubled recently on the South Line, from six to 12 roundtrips on weekdays and increased from two to six roundtrips on weekends and holidays. Bustang Outrider between Lamar/Pueblo and Colorado Springs runs one roundtrip daily.

Next season’s Bustang to Broncos Tejon stop will be relocated to the Downtown Terminal.
