Streamline Bus, a program of HRDC, is revamping its service in the Gallatin Valley with the introduction of new routes beginning Monday, Aug. 16, 2021.

The revamped service will better serve riders and the rest of the community by improving convenience, helping more people get more places, all while easing traffic congestion and opening up parking spaces and reducing air pollution. The zero-fare bus line also helps provide crucial transportation to work, medical appointments, and other services for those who can’t drive or may not be able to afford a car.

“Streamline benefits people across the Gallatin Valley, whether they ride the bus themselves or not,” said Sunshine Ross, Streamline’s Transportation Director.

“The new routes come on line as Streamline marks its 15th year of service to the Gallatin Valley,” Ross added. The program will host a new stop ribbon-cutting at Gallatin Regional Park in Bozeman on Aug. 16 and a community barbecue at HRDC on Aug. 26.

Streamline’s new Blueline, Goldline, Purpleline, Brownline, and Pinkline will begin service on Monday, August 16, 2021. The Blueline 1⁄2 hour service and Goldline 1⁄2 hour service will begin that day as well. The LateNight route, Livingston route, and Purpleline 1⁄2 hour service will begin later this fall. The last day of service for Streamline’s existing routes will be Sunday, August 15, 2021.

“We have worked diligently to better meet the needs of our customers within the rapidly growing areas we serve. By introducing bi-directional routes, later evening hours, routes that run seven days per week, and a new route between Gallatin High School and Downtown Bozeman, we are evolving our footprint in the region and delivering more convenient transportation options than ever before,” said Sunshine.
