Sultan Shuttle thread

For those who don't have a car that drives in the snow or a whip at all, check out the Sultan Shuttle direct from Sultan, WA to Stevens Pass, WA.

Let them do the driving for you, especially when conditions are bad.

If we get better ridership this season, we'll add more bus times. And hopefully lower prices. It's under new mangement this season, so expect it to be a bit more fun then the past seasons!

Visit our website here: http://sultanshuttle.com/

Feedback, comments and questions are always accepted!

Bus departs Sultan, WA: 8am and 9am. 
Buses head back down the mountain: 3pm and 4pm.

Basically the guy who owns the buses jacked up the prices, but I'm working on that right now, getting the prices down. Were gunna offer a punch card and a seasons pass which will save you a ton of money. I'm working on special offers, you can buy tickets online this year, and word on the street is SPSS will be sponsoring the Sultan Shuttle this season along with Cheveron.
The host program that used to be on the shuttle is no more and is under new managment. Check out our website, http://sultanshuttle.com/ to see more.

$5 is what it was, $5 is what it needs to stay.

I agree. It is way too much. I manage it, I just don't own the bus company so I'm still waiting to hear back from the owner.

It started at $10 two seasons ago. Gas has gone up too much in the past 4 years to be $5. I want to keep it at $10 because thats pretty reasonable. Thats what I would give me friends or expect my friends to give me if I drove/they drove.
It used to be free when I first started riding. Then when I got to high school and got my job there it went to $5. If I could, I would keep it at $5 trust me.

Please send your feedback to the owner on the site, though, thru the comment box on the contact page. It goes straight to him and if he gets enough feedback, I can lower the prices. Seriously. All and any feedback is accepted. Or even send it to me in a PM. Any ideas, too, are accepted. I'm thinking about supporting a bus run for rail jams/comps/etc? What do you think?

Just got off the phone with the boss man.


NEW SCHEDULE!
Please understand that we have no affilation with Stevens, like Stevens isn't running it so its me and my boss on our own out of our pocket. That's why ticket prices went up 2 dollars. But I brought them down. We will be running specials the first week of the buses, Dec. 18th thru Dec. 23rd, so look for them then :)

Bus departs Sultan, WA: 7:30 am, 8:00 am and 9:30 am. 
Buses head back down the mountain: 3:00 pm, 4:00 pm and 5:30 pm

And tickets are now $12. Punch cards are $85

The first week the buses run, so the 18-23rd, the seasons pass will drop to $150 and the punch cards will be $75. But for that week only, then they will go back to normal. :)

With that discounted punch card, this would be worth it. $7.50 a trip? Sure.

But I'll be on the employee bus from Skykomish.

I will announce it the first day and then have the passes by the next day or whenever you ride the shuttle next. If you want to pay for it, you can either pay for it online or I'll allow cash/check(as long as it doesn't bounce) at the Shuttle itself.
