The Summit Stage, Summit County’s free bus system, will add a new line with two additional routes to its summer schedule, according to a news release from the county government.
The X Flyer bus line will add two transit routes, both stopping at Sapphire Point, where a new bus stop will be added, on Swan Mountain Road, the release states. The new bus stop will allow more access to public lands at Sapphire Point, a popular spot with views of the Dillon Reservoir, and reduce parking impacts in the area, according to the county government.
The X Flyer’s first leg will stop at the Frisco Transfer Center, Summit High School, Sapphire Point, Summit Cove, Keystone Lodge, River Run at Keystone Resort and Arapahoe Basin Ski Area, the release states.
The second leg of the new bus route will stop at Breckenridge Station, Summit High School, Sapphire Point, Summit Cove and Silverthorne Station, according to the county government.

Both legs of the X Flyer will reportedly run in reverse on the way back and will meet at Summit Cove to allow passengers to transfer.
The X Flyer will run every other hour, 7 days a week, the release states. The bus will only run to A-Basin during the ski area’s operating season. If A-Basin is closed, the bus route will end at River Run.
Additionally, the Silverthorne/Keystone bus will run at the same times all day and evening long this summer, leaving the Silverthorne Station and River Run at 15 minutes past each hour during operating hours, according to the news release.
