Best Ways to Get Around Town
  • Bike - Bozeman is a small town, and nearly everything is within biking distance.
  • Bite the bullet and fill your car up with fuel.
  • Grab a pair of walking shoes
  • Pretend to be drunk and call Cat Cab.
Best Ways to Get to the Airport
  • A cab ride to the airport costs $19.
  • Go West on Kagy for 1 mile, then turn right onto 19th St. Continue on 19th for 1.3 miles and turn right onto U.S.-191 (Main St.). Continue on 191 for 0.8 miles, then turn left onto BUS-90, and after 0.1 miles, continue for 7.4 miles onto MT-205. The airport is on your right.

Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The majority of Bozeman seems to be content with letting everyone drive a giant SUV and putting minimal funding into alternative modes of transportation. A Greyhound bus station on Main Street gives the car-challenged students a chance to escape Bozeman for the weekend. Sadly, the bus ride usually takes so long that students end up spending the majority of their weekend staring out the window at the landscape.

Apart from buses and public transportation, Bozeman has an adequate airport. The airport does not serve as an international gateway, but it does an acceptable job bringing in and flying out puddle jumper planes that take their passengers to Seattle, Salt Lake City, Denver, or another, more well-equipped airport.

Personal vehicle- varied on distance from school, permit cost and upkeep. Public transportation- for in Bozeman fair number of routes and increasing the numbers; multiple stops on campus can get a pass or pay each ride.
