MAX Bus Rapid Transit is a bus rapid transit system serving Fort Collins, Colorado. The service, operated by Transfort, consists of one route serving 12 stations on the 5-mile-long (8.0 km) Mason Corridor Transitway between South Transit Center and Downtown Fort Collins, with stops near the Colorado State University campus.[2][3]

It opened on May 10, 2014, at a cost of $87 million, as the first bus rapid transit system in the state of Colorado.[4] Rides were initially charged without a fare, but effective August 25, 2014, fares would be charged; ticket-vending machines are located at stops and are used to pay.[5]
