CableLabs EcoPass Info

Thank you for looking! Here are some links that I have found helpful when navigating the RTD system:

  • You may want to review the RTD system map
  • If you have a smartphone, try the Transit app. It can track busses and trains based on real-time location data provided by RTD.
  • Google maps also integrates with RTD's data and provides routing via the transit mode.

Hints and tips for new riders

  • When boarding regional busses like the FF-series that only have one door on the front, wait for riders to exit before boarding. The driver should signal when it is okay to board.
  • I like to make my way towards the exit door as the bus approaches the stop instead of waiting for the bus to stop first. It takes some balance and coordination but it speeds up the process. This is not necessary on vehicles with more than one door, but unfortunately the FF busses that run along US-36 only have one.
  • When traveling to downtown from McCaslin station (or anywhere in Boulder), take the FF2 if at all possible. It does not stop between McCaslin Station and Denver Union Station.
