Shuttles
Glacier's Shuttle System (national Park Service)
Starting in July 2007 park visitors will be able to access many destinations along the Going-to-the-Sun Road while enjoying the spectacular scenery by riding on one of the park’s optional and environmentally-friendly passenger shuttle buses. There will be no additional charge to ride the shuttle, no tickets will be required, and transit stops will be clearly marked along the Going-to-the-Sun Road. The shuttle system is being established to offer a travel option for visitors to avoid traffic and parking problems associated with rehabilitation of the Going-to-the-Sun Road., and to offer an alternative to driving for park users.
The transit system will provide two-way service along Going-to-the-Sun Road between the Apgar Transit Center and St. Mary Visitor Center. Buses will run every 15 or 30 minutes dependent on location and time of day between approximately 7:15 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. from July 1 through Labor Day.
