The Streamline of Bozeman has updated its route schedule and made a few important changes riders need to know about during yet another academic and colder season. Here’s a look at some of the highlights: Half-Hour Service: The Blue, Yellow, Orange and Red Routes have service in addition to the regular hourly service during peak times in the morning and afternoon. These additional services only operate Monday through Friday during the main academic terms at MSU (August 17, ‘15 through May 6, ‘16).
Look for the highlighted columns for each route to see what times these extra routes operate. Orangeline/Yellowline: The Orangeline has reversed the direction of travel and stop times have been adjusted. The Yellowline times have also been adjusted to better accommodate transfers at MSU. Redline: Stops have been moved off of Annie Street in order to expand the route to Oak Street. Greenline: The stops in Belgrade are at Smith & Missoula (Park-n-Ride) & at the Flying J Travel Plaza. Greenline morning to 2pm will not make stops along Fallon St. headed West from MSU. Direction of Travel: Look for the N, E, S, W symbols in the timetables, next to the name of the stop, indicating the direction in which the bus is traveling.
The symbols appear on stops that have a pick up on both sides of the road to help distinguish the correct time for the intended stop. Whistle Stop (Livingston Route): The buses travel on specific routes, which are shown on the map. Buses stop at designated stops, which are signed along the route, and at ‘whistle stops.’ Whistle stops are for dropping off passengers; the bus will only stop with a passenger request made prior to the stop. Times listed for whistle stops are an estimated time of arrival. Late Transfer Policy: Buses will not wait at Transfer Stations for another bus that is running too far behind schedule (except on the last run). This should keep all other routes on time.
Apologies if this causes any inconvenience. Please see the map and timetable for details. For more information on the Streamline and its many routes, visit streamlinebus.com. •
