Other routes
FLEX
FLEX is a regional route with local and express service connecting Fort Collins, Loveland, Berthoud, and Longmont.[3]
MAX BRT
The Mason Corridor Express (MAX) BRT opened on May 10, 2014.
MAX Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service runs along the Mason Corridor to connect and 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's system has a dedicated transit-only guideway (its own road) that runs parallel to the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway between the South Transit Center (south of Harmony Road) and Horsetooth Road, then again between Drake Road and University Avenue (CSU). The exclusive guideway is an integral part of MAX BRT service. Whether traffic gets worse, or if there's an accident, MAX's travel time will not be controlled by what is on the road. MAX stations are spaced further apart than regular local-service bus routes, cutting transit commute times by half or more.[4]

- Gillig Low Floor 30'
