Your personal chauffeur

The Missoula public transportation system is just one of the many transportation options available to Missoulians. The Mountain Line Bus System runs from downtown throughout the city.

Transportation

Regardless of how you need to travel, there’s an array of options for heading to, from, and around Missoula and western Montana.

Environmental conscientiousness plays a large role in public and personal transportation, a fact made evident by the crowded bicycle racks and sidewalks around town. Missoula is a city friendly to bikes and pedestrians.

Missoula also has efficient public transportation. The Missoula Mountain Line bus system provides transportation from downtown Missoula throughout the city at regular intervals seven days a week.

For those traveling to and from Missoula by air, the Missoula International Airport offers non-stop flights from ten major markets and hosts the operations of four airlines:  Alaska/Horizon, Allegiant, Delta and United. You can also hire the service of an airport transportation company that will pick you up and drive you to your destination for your convenience.

If you’re visiting Missoula, check out Destination Missoula for more information about transportation.
