Hop: One epic loop



It's hard to comprehend an all encompassing bus loop, but the Hop comes pretty close. The Hop visits so many tasty destinations that it's hard to fit them all on one map. Once aboard the Hop, enjoy the satellite radio piping through the speakers. Rock up and down Pearl Street, where there seems to be a restaurant representing every country. You could even have dinner in the rolling chairs at the Olive Garden! Place an order at Papa Johns in the shopping center at 28th and Arapahoe. See if the Hop can beat the delivery driver back to your place on the hill. If your day calls for less funny business, stop by Folsom Street Coffee Company on your way into campus. Stay on board the Hop after the campus stops, and this magic bus will cascade through the numbered streets on the hill.
 
With trips every 7-10 minutes from mornings until evenings on weekdays, you won't have to think twice about when to catch this route. During the night on weekends/holidays, the Hop becomes less frequent. Fear not, because on Thursdays through Saturdays starting at 12am, Late Night Transit assumes a variation of the HOP duties. Visit goboulder.net for the HOP and Late Night Transit schedules.
