The Town of Vail's free bus system runs daily on all routes every 20-60 minutes depending on the season. There is no fare to ride the bus. You can bring skis and snowboards as long as they don't block the aisle. In summer, most buses are equipped with bike carriers that accommodate up to three adult bicycles. However, tag-alongs and trailers are not permitted.
