These shuttles will take you to local hotels and Colorado Springs. Another form of transportation is The Mountain Metro which provides fixed-route bus services to Colorado Springs and the Pikes Peak region. Though these public transportation options are a great way of getting around the city, we highly recommend renting a car or downloading the Uber or Lyft app as most visitors are most satisfied with this option.
