It puts the town\u2019s transportation system at more than 600,000 rides year-to-date, a 17.7% increase compared with the same timeframe last year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">According to town staff, this marks the 12th consecutive month of double-digit growth for the Free Ride system.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Helping boost the month, ridership was up 167% on the town\u2019s Black route, which was attributed to extended operations at Breckenridge Ski Resort. However, one trolley has been out of commission since May 7 because of a shortage in staff, leading to a slight decrease on that route.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">For more about the town\u2019s free transportation system, go to <a id=\"N0x1a28f40N0x1c191d0:N0x1a28f40N0x1c1f620\" href=\"http:\/\/BreckFreeRide.com\">BreckFreeRide.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.summitdaily.com\/news\/local\/breckenridges-free-public-transit-system-sees-nearly-40-jump-in-may-ridership\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Summit Daily<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Breckenridge continues to see increased use of the town\u2019s free public transportation system with a 39.5% spike in ridership for May over the same month last year.File Photo \/ Summit Daily News Ridership on Breckenridge\u2019s free public transportation system exploded in May with a 39.5% increase compared with May 2018, based on figures included in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[97],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-25157","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-local-news"},"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-06-11 21:32:49","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"distributor_meta":false,"distributor_terms":false,"distributor_media":false,"distributor_original_site_name":"KIFT - The LIFT FM","distributor_original_site_url":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kift","push-errors":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kift\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25157","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kift\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kift\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kift\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kift\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25157"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kift\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25157\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kift\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25157"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kift\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25157"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kift\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25157"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
