The Shuttle System in GNP is great!
It will save you time and frustration with the traffic on Going to the Sun Road and lack of parking at Logan Pass. Also it allows you to sight see as much as possible on this epic drive through the park! Check the GNP website for shuttle schedules.

Glacier National Park Ticketing System
From May 28, 2021 - September 7, 2021, GNP is requiring a $2 day ticket in addition to your entry pass, in order to limit traffic and hopefully resolve parking issues on Going to the Sun Road. This is required for the West Glacier, Camas Road, and St. Mary entrances. It must be booked in advance, 60 days in advance, and 2 days before. We advise being ready right at 8am (60 days or 2 days before) to book your ticket because they are selling out very quickly.
Polebridge, Many Glacier, and Two Medicine do not require the advance day ticket.
