    Truly mediocre. Light rail trains frequently are late or simply do not run, and it is extremely…read morerare for them to post any kind of alert or update on their website when this happens. You just stand around hoping it shows up, then eventually the next one does. Maybe. Service is already thin with trains only running every 15 minutes or so at best, so when you miss your connection(s) the time lost starts adding up quickly. This morning the bus driver got lost which was a first, so I missed my train and was late to work. This didn't surprise me unfortunately, as I expect RTD to screw me over at least 10% of the time and they were about due. Leaving work the train simply didn't show up, so I missed the hourly bus back home. I'm currently standing in a shelter at Federal Center station, and in keeping with their policy of being awful, RTD decided the shelters should have holes in the sides so that the wind can pass straight through. There's plexiglass at the upper portion so if you stand on the bench it's less miserable, but it's really frustrating how bad this transportation agency is at all aspects of transportation.

    What an absolutely beautiful station. I was impressed with the outside and then when I went inside…read morethe building I was taken aback. It wasn't what I as expected at all. There were arched windows, beautiful lighting, and everything was just so bright due to the two. Inside there was a variety of places to eat. There were restaurants, a bar, and a coffee shop from what I had seen. I came early in the morning, so only the coffee shop was open. At the Union Station, you can catch a ride on the Amtrak or catch Denver's bus or rail. I thought the system was very nice and orderly.

    Denver Union Station is a very large, very grand structure designed to help human beings move from…read moreone spot on the Earth to another. I did not ride a train here. I simply walked inside, stared at the ceiling, drank coffee, and conducted myself like a person who had accidentally discovered that a transportation building can be a tourist attraction. The central room is called the Great Hall, and it is appropriately named. It features sixty-foot arched ceilings, giant chandeliers, and Beaux-Arts masonry that suggests important historical figures in dramatic clothing ought to be striding through the doors. The original station opened in 1881, burned down in 1894 because wooden structures are vulnerable to fire, and was rebuilt in 1914. A century later, after a long period of quiet decline, it was reimagined as a combination of train terminal, boutique hotel called The Crawford, cocktail venue known as the Terminal Bar, and general indoor living room for the public. It should be noted that it is not meant to stand in as a bedroom, however, as my friend was sternly warned about napping there by a camera guided security officer. If you look closely, the building contains small physical clues about the past. There are display cases showing forgotten items recovered from the original wooden waiting benches, vintage railroad artifacts, and framed architectural blueprints from 1914. These objects serve as physical proof that millions of long-gone citizens once sat in this exact space holding tickets to towns that have since changed beyond recognition or disappeared entirely. I stood with a hot beverage and watched the endless parade of organisms. There were hurried commuters, confused tourists, hotel guests with rolling suitcases, and individuals who had entered for no apparent reason other than that the room was warm and visually pleasing. Outside, Wynkoop Plaza connects the granite building to the Lower Downtown neighborhood with splash fountains and outdoor benches. You can buy a cocktail, eat an expensive meal, or sit on a plush couch and contemplate the sheer volume of human lives that have intersected under this roof over the past one hundred and forty years. I cannot report on whether the Amtrak trains operate according to their printed schedules. Based on my personal experience, I would doubt it, but that is hardly the fault of the station. I have no opinion regarding the cushioning of the waiting room chairs. I did not inspect the platform boarding platforms. I came strictly to observe a magnificent survivor made of stone and iron, and the station performed its duty. Sometimes the most satisfying place to arrive is the building originally constructed to send you somewhere else.

    Shoutout great public transportation…read more RTD Union Station has been the beginning and end of many memorable nights downtown. If you're headed downtown for some fun, I recommend checking if RTD is available near you. From concerts and sporting events at Denver's top venues to bar hopping or skating downtown, RTD Union Station is a great and reliable way to get to and from your event. Did someone say free DD for the night? RTD has you covered. I found it to be safe and well taken care of, though I recommend the buddy system when possible. RTD Union Station is ALSO the perfect way to get to and from the Denver International Airport affordably. It makes solid time as well, considering how far Denver International Airport is from the city.

    What a great building to have in your city. This is a great spot for place where things come…read moretogether. The station is located in the new 'Union Station neighborhood', where multiple modes of transportation come together in order to help connect the city with its visitors and residents. We came here from the airport. It seems to be happening all over now that you can fly in to a destination than catch a train to your final spot (or close to it.) It's also a lot of fun taking the train through new spots and getting a feel for where you are. They started the refurbishing project in 2010 and officially had the Grand Re-Opening in 2014. This is truly the smart way for cities to go by utilizing what they have and maintaining a great history. The building is surrounded by businesses, housing, hotels and restaurants. It is also a short walk to the ballpark. It's great the way Denver is modernizing while keeping their history very much alive. KUDOs to the team at RTD Union Station

The app also tells you times and when to leave your house etc. And when you sign up you get the first week free. Only issue is at night it's very unsafe.

I have called and called and am routed to accounting where no one answers nor calls back. I am also told there is no refund for a physical pass by customer service. I left voicemail for accounting 5 days in and 10 days in. No response. When I call "customer service" they basically tell me...you need to talk to accounting and transfer me to a dead line. I finally got a person and screamed for a supervisor. I screamed at the supervisor and he finally helped me. I don't know what is going to happen yet...I only know he escalated it. I'm ashamed and embarrassed to pay taxes to this expensive, inept, rude and inconsiderate organization. I will be posting my experience absolutely everywhere. What a sham. This pass was for a homeless person and I had to physically drive to him and buy a new monthly pass to put on his phone.
