Dash: A scenic trip to a cozy town




If Boulder becomes too urban for you, board the Dash for a comforting ride to the quaint town of Lafayette. Starting at the Boulder Transit Center, the Dash serves campus, South Boulder and then cruises on to Lafayette and Louisville. In these high plains towns you'll find parks and open space, dining, a museum and vintage shopping. Try for that evasive 300 bowling score at the Coal Creek Sports Center. If bowling isn't your thing, and you disliked the movie Kingpin, the Coal Creek Sports center also has bingo. Bingo, a sport traditionally reserved for the elderly, has returned as a fun game fit for younger generations. This area's best kept secret is the Melting Pot, where they don't cook your food for you! After your delectable dinner, take the Dash from the Lafayette park n' Ride back to Boulder.


The Dash is working when you are, from very early in the morning until late at night during weekdays. Three trips per hour is this route's average. Beware, some afternoon trips don't continue past Foothills Parkway. Service is limited on weekends and holidays, but the Dash does in fact run on these days.
