From Bus Book 2008-2009

There are three branches for this service. Know the schedule for the branch you need because the times vary greatly. The 205C runs much less than the others. Otherwise it's a great route to work in your commuting routine because it runs frequently during the week, and twice an hour on Saturdays. Sundays and holidays are a little more limited.

See the Flatirons in all their glory on the 205 to Gunbarrel. Starting just north of campus at the Boulder Transit Center, the western tail of the 205 covers Canyon and 3rd street. Residents of this area can catch the 205 on its way east or stay on the bus after the Boulder Transit Center as the 205 heads west. The western tail of the 205 is perfect for outdoorsy readers because the route goes by the Boulder Public Library and the Boulder Creek Trail. Heading northeast, the 205 takes a happy little trip through the 28th street retail district before accelerating through north Boulder scenic areas. After crossing the Diagonal Highway, the 205 says goodbye to undeveloped land as it heads toward 63rd street in Gunbarrel. Gunbarrel has residential areas, shopping and big businesses such as Celestial Seasonings.
Starting in Gunbarrel during early morning hours, the 205 runs all day; four trips per hour during peak commuting times and two trips per hour during slower parts of the day. At the end of the day, the 205 has a late bedtime. This route also runs on weekends and holidays with limited service.
