It’s coming to the Mason Corridor in May of this year!
The MAX offers rail-like convenience without the rails?
OK, it’s a big bus that rides along a dedicated roadway most of the time. It will travel on the regular street between Drake and Horsetooth but the rest of the time it will have its own road.
Inside the MAX
The driver won’t bother passengers for tickets or spare change so passengers can get on and off quickly. There will be some kind of fare checking system but I won’t know until May to see how that works. I’ve been told that my bus pass will work so I should be fine. Note however that the bus can only take three bicycles at a time, just like the regular Transfort buses.
The engine runs on compressed natural gas.
I’ll be on the lookout for these big articulated buses as they will be seen from the Mason bike path early spring while the drivers are in training.
Simulation of driving an articulated bus
There’s an app for that as you might have guessed. In the example above you use the steering wheel and the gas/break to work your way around an airport terminal.
Airports to drive through maybe New York, London and Tokyo
I’m not sure what the function of the blond woman is in the splash screen in this app, but I’m also sure we won’t see anything like her on the MAX.
