New bus stop design improves safety, reliability on Colorado Avenue

Before the fall semester begins, Buff Bus riders will see improvements at two bus stops near the Colorado Avenue and Folsom Street intersection. 

These stops are being upgraded to floating bus stops, a design that helps improve safety and keeps buses moving efficiently. With this new layout, the bike lane runs between the bus stop platform and the sidewalk, creating clearer spaces for riders, cyclists and buses. 

What this means for riders

  • More predictable and efficient bus arrivals and departures 
  • Improved safety for people boarding and exiting the bus 
  • Reduced delays caused by traffic and vehicles passing buses 
  • More reliable service during winter weather when buses can remain in the travel lane 

The new floating bus stops will serve: 

  • Westbound: Stampede and HOP routes 
  • Eastbound: Stampede and Will Vill routes 

These improvements are part of ongoing efforts to make campus transit safer, more reliable and more comfortable for Buff Bus riders and the broader campus community.
