Cheyenne Transit is the primary provider of mass transportation in Laramie County, Wyoming. Six routes are provided by the agency from Monday through Saturday.[1] In 2009, the city began a comprehensive process to increase ridership by adding bus stops and building shelters.
History
Cheyenne Transit suspended services during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, unlike other agencies, the suspension lasted significantly longer, until September 5, 2023. When transit returned to the city, the system was improved with more direct routes and free fares. Despite moving to a fare-free operation ,the city will save money by no longer requiring fareboxes, nor any of the other associated expenses of a fare-based system.[2]
Future
Services
As of 2020, Cheyenne's current fixed-routes include:[3]
- East Route- to East Walmart
- Northwest Route- to Frontier Mall
- Northeast Route- to King Soopers
- West Route- to BLM
- South Route- LCCC
- Downtown Loop to CRMC
Each route begins at the top of the hour at the Transfer Station (17th and Capitol), and makes a loop to return between 40 and 50 minutes past the hour. Each route is identified with a basic marquee on the front and right side of each bus. Each stop is identified with a green sign.
Para-transit
The "curb-to curb" program is a dial-up transit taxi for the disabled, or those not close to a bus stop.[4] The para-transit runs on the same time-frame of a fixed-route, and within a 3/4th mile buffer.
