It's fast, free and the inconvenience of it's often standcrowding ing room only during peak is at least festival hours somewhat alleviated by the likelihood of overhearing all manner of juicy showbiz gossip, or the chance of spotting (or sitting down next to) someone famous. (Chicago film critic Roger Ebert is one known festival shuttle rider.) The festival operates three shuttle routes daily that stop Lake City, Ogden or Sundance Village, finding parking is probably not a problem. Finding a place to leave your car in Park City, on the other hand, requires careful planning and sometimes a little bit of luck. Free festival shuttles pick up and drop off at all of the lots listed below. Signs are posted to help drivers locate each parking area. All parking is on a first served basis, and lots fill up quickly route every 5 minutes. Park City Transit covers much of the same terrain, with buses in operation daily from 6:25 a.m. until 2:30 a.m. If you're in the mood to stretch your legs, then you can follow any of the marked walking routes, a service the festival began in 2007. Routes were designed with input from the Mountain Trails Foundation and are marked on the festival's transit map, and on the inside back cover of the festival's film guide, with a grid to help you estimate the time needed to walk between various points around Park City.
