Open tip ↗

ESTA lists free local winter routes, and its Red Line page reviewed September 9 announces a November 13, 2026 start. That route connects the Community Recreation Center, Old Mammoth Road, Main Street, the Village and Main Lodge. Check the stop nearest your lodging, direction, current service dates and last return before booking around it. Congestion can affect the timetable, and early/late-season routes can differ. Free local service does not establish a free airport transfer; check airport schedules, reservations and costs separately.
