MAX Bus Rapid Transit Service


Come Join Us on MAX!

MAX Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) serves major activity and employment centers throughout our community including Midtown, CSU and Downtown. MAX links with other Transfort bus routes, Park-n-Rides, the City's bicycle/pedestrian trail system, and other local and regional transit routes to provide seamless service for passengers.

MAX follows a dedicated transit-only guideway (its own road) and mixed-traffic streets that run parallel to the BNSF Railway between the South Transit Center (south of Harmony Road) and Downtown. It is served by 12 stations and stops.


Enjoy Free WiFi on board MAX!

MAX offers free 4G LTE WiFi. Access can be gained by selecting "TRANSFORT" from the list of internet connections. Please do not ask the bus driver for assistance. Note that service may not be available on certain buses and is subject to periodic outages.
