Helpful Tips
Download the Green Mountain Transit app. Buy passes. Track buses in real time around Burlington. It works.
Ride the LINK Express. Downtown Burlington to Middlebury and Montpelier. Wi-Fi and power outlets onboard.
Downtown Burlington is walkable. Church Street Marketplace is pedestrian-only. It connects to the waterfront bike path.
Uber and Lyft cover the city. Taxi stands remain at the airport and downtown transit center. Choose either.
Common Scams to Avoid
Unlicensed "taxis" at the curb may claim the meter is broken and quote inflated flat fares to downtown or ski resorts. Insist on using the official taxi queue or pre-book through the airport's approved ride-hailing app.
Rental-car fuel service at the airport sometimes adds an automatic refueling charge even if you return the tank full. Photograph the fuel gauge and final mileage, then dispute any surprise fee at the counter before leaving.
A local variant of the "broken credit-card machine" scam appears at the airport parking exit: the attendant says the card reader is down and demands cash at a higher rate. Pay with a mobile wallet or back up and use the staffed lane with a credit-card terminal.
