Game Day Reminders

  • Bikes on buses on Game Day: Please lock your bike to a rack at a MAX station or bus stop prior to boarding a bus. Due to anticipated heavy loads on game days, bikes are discouraged from MAX and will not be accommodated during peak times. Bikes will not be allowed on game day shuttle front racks due to tight clearances around traffic control devices.
  • Prohibited Items: Don’t forget to leave prohibited items at home before boarding a bus! Check CSU’s stadium site for a clear bag policy and list of prohibited items. 
  • All regularly scheduled Saturday routes except for HORN will be running during stadium events. Please check Rider Alerts for detours that might impact your route..

Regular HORN service will end 4 hours before scheduled start time for Friday games.
