Heading downtown for the Everybody Welcome™ Festival this Saturday? Leave the car in the driveway or park along the ZEB loop and forget about hunting for a parking space. Mountain Metropolitan Transit (MMT) is launching the first phase of its brand-new free downtown shuttle service, THE ZEB, and it’s about to make your weekend plans a breeze!  


What is THE ZEB?

 THE ZEB is a convenient, zero-cost shuttle operating along Tejon Street in downtown Colorado Springs. It spans the corridor between Cache La Poudre and Rio Grande streets, giving you direct access to hot spots like Colorado College, Weidner Field, and the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum.  


Best of all? Buses pick up every 7–10 minutes, so you won't have to spend your Saturday waiting around at a stop.  


THE ZEB hours

  • Monday-Thursday, 7 a.m.-10 p.m.

  • Friday, 7 a.m.-midnight

  • Saturday, 8 a.m.-midnight

  • Sunday, 10 a.m.-8 p.m.
