place, route 15 was revised to allow for improved service. Also, a new route was created (Route 16 – Brookside St) that replaced route 32 (Uintah
Gardens) and ran the 32's route, plus it extended the route to the downtown terminal (which the Route 32 did not serve). Route 6 was altered to allow service to Fillmore and 4th Street from the downtown terminal. As a result, Route 6 no longer operated on Van Buren & Mann Middle School. Route 20 also no longer served those areas as it was revised to stay on Circle Drive past Union where Circle turned into Fillmore. Also, Route 9 would see its first real change in decades (including S.T. days), it was pulled from Winters/El Paso & 4th/Hancock portions to go directly along Mountview instead. Route 9 was also extended to serve the Woodmen Park and Ride and the Chapel Hills Mall, which allowed off-peak and Saturday service to the former. Route 25 lost its north end routing and was given to the newly extended Route 9. By this time, Routes 7 and 14 were running every 30 minutes all day, including Saturdays. Route 31 got a frequency increase to 60 minutes. Routes 13 and 19 were left unchanged as they only ran on evenings and Sundays. All the specialty routes and most of the express routes were also unchanged. Route E-1 (Union Town Center Express) lost service north of Research Pkwy.

All express routes not serving Schriever Air Force Base were eliminated (E1, E2, E3, and E4). All specialty routes were gone, which included school trippers (Routes 41-43), Shopper's Special (Route 40), and Route 17 (Cheyenne Mountain Zoo). At least six transfer stations were closed. In addition, Routes 6, 8, 12, 15, and 24 began running hourly all-day instead of 30 minute peak-hour service and 60 minute off-peak service. Routes 12 and 22 no longer operated on evenings and Sundays. Route 2 (Printers Pkwy-Hancock Plaza) was eliminated. Route 1 (Hillside-Hancock Plaza), which ran on most of the same streets as route 2, got a frequency increase to 30 minutes. Due to the elimination of both dedicated evening/Sunday routes (#13 & #19), routes 5, 9 and 14 began running evenings and Sundays, although the latter two only ran part of their route on evenings and Sundays. The free downtown shuttle (DASH) no longer ran on Saturdays, but within a month, it was eliminated altogether due to lack of funding.

year-round service to the
Manitou Incline and the COG Railway. Route 6 was changed to terminate at Cascade & Fillmore instead of the Downtown Terminal. Routes 8 and 12 were changed to terminate at Nevada & Cache La Poudre. Route 15 was split into two routes. The new route 15 provides service between Rio Grande & Nevada and the Cheyenne Mountain Shopping Center. A new route, route 35, was created to serve the portion of the old 15 between the Criminal Justice Center and the PPCC transfer station. Route 35 runs every 30 minutes due to the short route. However, it does not provide all-day service, as it ends service around 10am and starting back up at 2:30 pm and running up to 8 pm. Route 16 was also split into two routes. The new route 16 provides service between Brookside & Nevada and 19th/Uintah. A new route, Route 17, was created to more directly service the Uintah Gardens shopping center and the westside. This route provides service between the Cache La Poudre transfer point and the Fillmore transfer point.

Fontanero to Fillmore, and Garden of the Gods Road from Centennial to near 30th St. It departs from the Downtown Terminal at :45 starting at 7:45 AM running on weekdays, allowing a 30-minute headway to the Citizen's Service Center, reducing overcrowding and "improving" route 14's on-time performance. Route 2 started service on Monday, May 19. Initial hours were from 7:45 AM – 11 AM and 2 PM – 4:30 PM with no midday service. Route 2's hours were changed to 10:45 AM – 4:31 PM on June 23, 2014 to better coincide with route 14's peak boarding hours to increase ridership and improve route 14's on-time performance. To encourage ridership, all rides on route 2 from June 23 to July 23 were free. The fall 2014 service changes involved Route 2 becoming a permanent route, with hours being expanded to 7:45 AM – 5:31 PM on weekdays and added Saturday service from 7:15 AM – 5 PM.

Centennial to Forrest Hill. It still ran hourly, although there was a proposal to increase its headway to 30 minutes in the near future. The east-west portion of the route from Garden of the Gods Rd to Austin Bluffs & Barnes is now numbered as route 34 and it runs on Weekdays & Saturdays. Route 14 lost Saturday service which negatively impacted everyone living near the route. Route 34 does run on Saturday, but only from 6-10 AM and from 2:30-7 PM. The cuts to Saturday service will likely only be temporary as there are plans to restore full Saturday service in the near future as soon as the budget allows for it. Unfortunately, route 14's on-time performance suffered heavily due to remaining on an hourly headway and the high number of people boarding/alighting at the north end of the route.

Saturdays, providing 15 minute weekday service and 30-minute Saturday service between the Downtown Terminal and Mount View Lane. Routes 10 and 11 got a frequency increase to 30 minutes to provide 15-minute weekday service between the Downtown Terminal and Southgate Road, and to the PPCC Transfer Station, where the two routes terminate. Route 10 also regained Saturday service for the first time since the 2010 service cuts, which allowed 30-minute service between the Downtown Terminal and Southgate Road once again.

Widefield in the south, Manitou Springs in the west to Peterson AFB to the east, and much in between. The Downtown Terminal was the primary hub and every bus went to the Terminal (with the exception of the Route 5 – Eastern Crosstown, which used the Citadel as the primary transfer hub). The alternative main transfer points were The Citadel (#1, 2, 4, & 5) & PPCC (#2, 5, & 9). The color scheme was a sky blue with "Clean Air: It's Up To Us!" as their slogan. The signage at stops were a huge CS Transit logo that looked like a transit bus.

Saturdays. Route 12 began service an hour earlier on Saturdays, allowing riders to catch the first inbound bus to the Downtown Terminal. Route 19 was rerouted to Weber between Cache La Poudre and Jackson. Route 39's weekday schedule was changed so it would allow Route 19 to provide better connections at the Downtown Terminal on weekday evenings. Route 39 gained Saturday service as well. Route 35 saw an increase in the number of trips in the morning, with the mid-day service interruption being reduced to between 11:30 am and 2:30 pm.

January 1, 2010 to March 7, 2011, Colorado Springs was the largest city in the United States that had no public transit service on weekends. Route 14, a higher volume route, had its frequency cut from 30 minutes to 60 minutes. Many riders believe this was a major mistake, as it caused the route to become overcrowded during certain parts of the day, especially after the Department of Human Services (DHS) & the Pikes Peak Workforce Center were relocated to their current locations on Garden Of The Gods Rd. near Centennial.

This would pave the way for what would soon be known as Mountain Metropolitan Transit a.k.a. Metro. And finally, on Wednesday, November 1, 2005, the final evening buses pulled out of the Terminal (& The Citadel Transfer Station), concluding decades of service under the name Springs Transit.

service and allowed more routes to be created that didn't have to go to the Downtown Terminal to transfer. For example, when Springs Transit, there were two routes running on Academy Blvd., Route 1 – North Academy ran on the north part of Academy and Route 21 – South Academy ran on the south part. That was reduced to just one route (#25) running the length of Academy Blvd. from Chapel Hills Mall to PPCC. It added more frequency to South Academy section from its original 70 minutes to 35 minutes.

Routes 9A and 9B were renumbered so that the south part of the route would be numbered as Route 9 and the north portion as Route 39. This was necessary as the electronic systems Metro uses do not recognize letters in route numbers.

Route 25 and Route 27, due to poor on-time performance on weekday afternoons and on weekends. Routes 25 and 27 remained interlined for weekday service until 1 PM, when the routes start to operate alone and an additional bus is added to Route 25. For weekday evening and weekend service, Route 25 is interlined with Route 5, and Route 27 is interlined with Route 7.

Route 32, however, will run most of the normal Route 22, but will not continue to the city of Fountain. This move also reduced Metro Mobility paratransit services from providing services into Fountain as well.

Unfortunately, the extension had a negative effect to on-time performance due to the route's hourly headway and many of the route's riders boarding and alighting at the Citizen's Service Center on Garden of the Gods Rd. Saturday on-time performance was not affected.

Metro introduced 15-minute service on Route 5, the first time the transit agency has ever done so on a non-shuttle route. The increase in frequency made it necessary for Route 7 to be shortened so both routes could operate without being interlined like they were from 2008–2014. Route 5 continued to
