Service kicks off at the Broncos’ home opener this Friday
VRT’s Game Day Bus is back in action for Boise State football, offering fans, visitors, and downtown businesses a zero-fare and convenient way to get to and from Albertsons Stadium for home games this season.

The service runs during every Boise State home game, beginning two hours before kickoff and continuing one hour after the game ends, with buses scheduled to arrive every 15 minutes.

Game Day Bus is part of VRT’s growing portfolio of event-based transit options. These supplemental services are supported through VRT’s annual operations budget, which is made up of a combination of fare revenue, advertising, contributions from local cities and institutions, and federal grants. By providing reliable transportation to community events, supplemental services help reduce congestion, increase awareness of VRT’s system, and offer the public more opportunities to experience transit.
Rider Tips
- BOARDING: Zero fare, just hop on! All doors will open for boarding
- PRE-GAME: Buses will stop at Game Day Bus stops where fans are waiting, then continue to the stadium
- POST-GAME: Buses will stop at every Game Day Bus stop automatically (no need to pull the cord)
- BUSES: Up to 6 buses will run each game day to reduce wait times
