Getting from Boise Airport to the city

The routes

• Route 3, Vista, is the one to remember. Around 1640 scheduled calls in the published timetable, running 05:41 to 21:30, with an explicit Toward Boise Airport headsign.
• Route 2, Broadway, runs 05:30 to 21:43, about 1030 calls, signed for the airport and for Main Street Station.
• Route 20, Orchard, runs 06:02 to 21:32, about 450 calls.
• Three routes at a mid-sized American airport is more than most manage.

Where the stops are

• Boise Airport is the terminal stop.
• West Airport Way carries several more within a kilometre: at Wright Street, at Ryan Street, at Vista Avenue.
• South Vista Avenue has stops at Sunrise Rim Road and at Elder Street, on the corridor into town.

The limits

• The last departures are around 21:30. Boise has flights arriving later than that, particularly connections from the west coast hubs.
• There is no Sunday-to-Saturday parity to assume either; check the day of the week before relying on the bus.

Getting oriented

• Downtown Boise is about 5 km north along Vista Avenue.
• Main Street Station downtown is the interchange for the rest of the Treasure Valley network, including services out to Meridian and Nampa.
• Boise State University sits between the airport and downtown, which is why the corridor is well served.
