Excellent service and driver was friendly and informative about the area wildlife and geography. She was also an excellent driver!
Helen D.
Really bad enforcement of covid measures, the conductor walked up and down the bus not asking anyone maskless to put one on or even sanitise when entering the bus. Really unsafe and illegal especially risking those flying receiving a negative test.

Bus Station is a bit far an inaccessible from the town of Golden, but the service was great.
