College Prowler Take
Boulder’s public transportation is exceedingly convenient. A small fee is assessed into each semester’s tuition, which allows students to travel on a variety of local buses that tour throughout the city. The pass is given in the form of a sticker, which is placed on every student’s identification card. By showing this sticker along with their ID card, students can travel to Denver and surrounding areas. Many students take advantage of this pass when traveling to and from the Denver International Airport. There are few places in the country where a car is viewed as unnecessary. In Boulder there is no need to travel when excellent restaurants, lively entertainment, and even laundromats are within walking distance. And for the places you can’t walk to, there is substantial public transportation that can take you wherever you want to go, practically anytime you want.

Public transportation is excellent around town. I love not owning a car, except when I want to go skiing or hiking alone. Laundry can be a hassle if your house lacks laundry machines, but a car is not mandatory in Boulder. |

Very convenient, very reliable, and free with paid tuition. Buses run fairly late at night and are easy to find. |

The bus system in Boulder is quite efficient. Some larger cities should try to copy it. I just wish that more people would use it and stop polluting the city. |

As a student, you have a Buff Card, which is your ID card. On the jacket of this card is an RTD pass that allows you to travel almost everywhere, including Denver. RTD is known for being on time, too. There is also a Web site that can be helpful in providing timelines and changes due to weather conditions. |
