Zero-fare Mountain Line would benefit everyone in Missoula, Montana

In April, our community bus service, Mountain Line, set an all-time ridership record by delivering 78,268 rides in just 30 days. The number toppled the record for any April in our bus service’s 36-year history. That’s the kind of performance all Missoulians have come to expect and appreciate.

Any month of the year, Mountain Line bus service benefits us all, contributing to our quality of life and local economy in Missoula. No matter if Mountain Line is helping students get to school or employees get to work, or helping seniors and people with disabilities independently move around town, Missoulians value this top-notch service.
