To drive, or not to drive... This is the question I often ask myself when planning an excursion to…read moreDenver. With inclement weather on the possible horizon and a free bus pass (thank you City of Boulder!) the ff1 is my mode of choice today. If I will be back before dinner I'll typically walk to the downtown station, if like today I may be home on the later side I opt to drive, park, and ride from Table Mesa. There is often ample parking in the multi level parking garage and since I have local tags I'm good to park for an entire day fee free. I've had a couple mix-ups regarding where to actually board the bus- so word to the wise double check this before you depart your vehicle. Taking the bus to Denver/DIA? You may need to hoof it (or ride the elevator) up to the bridge that takes you out to the bus stop. I've missed a bus or two by waiting on the wrong side of the station. Picking a friend up or dropping them off at this station? There are handy dandy temporary spots just as you enter the garage. Not to worry, you definitely can't miss the signs. Overall super duper little transit center with ticket purchasing machines peppered throughout. For as long as I can recall there have been no permanent restrooms so do make sure to take a bio break before you head here. I may have also temporarily misplaced my car in the garage so I recommend double checking/noting where you park so the final leg of your journey home sets off without a hitch.

They recently upgraded all the stations along the US-36 corridor with new covered seating and digital schedule displays. This is a huge upgrade from what they had before! There is also a paper map of bus routes with daily schedules available for you to peruse at your leisure. This particular station has plenty of parking no matter when you arrive. There is a pedestrian tunnel under US-36 to an additional parking lot and the westbound gates. Busses generally run on-time, although I have encountered a couple instances when they didn't show up at all. Aside from that, though, this is a great alternative to driving! Pro-Tip: if you have an iPhone (or other smartphone), there are lots of great apps for tracking public transit. My personal favorites are Moovit & Transit. If you frequently use RTD, these are really helpful.

If ur a kid or a train enthusiast then I would rate this a 5, however I am not, and was not as…read moreamused as I thought I would be. To be fair, I was extremely disappointed in their so called covid safety protocols, to the point I wanted to leave. There was no soap in the bathroom, they say they are operating at half capacity but as you can see in the photo posted, people were crammed in there like sardines. (Luckily we were seated in a pretty empty car or I would have left.) Masks are mandatory however there were people not wearing them (and again... in a packed car) and they were not enforcing them to put them back on or get off at the next stop. I will say, if I was not so turned off by the sheer amount of people on the train mask less or the around the neck or noses hanging out, I might have given them a better rating, however, this was the first time I truly felt unsafe in a covid situation I could not walk away from... All that being said. It had great views and friendly staff and would probably be even better and prettier during winter.

This means you are looking at $10 per person for a round trip. This might make economic sense for 1 person, but if you are a group of 4 or 5 people going out for the evening, you could drive downtown, pay for gas and $10 for parking, and still come out $20 to $30 ahead. Also, you would get downtown faster, not spend as much time cooling your heels at the station (or have to change trains on the weekend), and probably wind up much closer to your intended destination. It is neither convenient nor cost effective for many people.

I use the Golden Call-N-Ride on days when the weather does not permit me to ride my roadbike to…read moreschool. I LOVE the new morning bus driver (much better than last semester). He's energetic and peppy in the morning, which makes for a very enjoyable ride to school. The Golden Call-N-Ride is an extention of RTD public transit services. They have a scheduled route, a flex route (runs at certain time intervals), and a call-in service. You must call and reserve a pick-up at least 2 hours in advance. While I have not used the call-in service, I have called to ask them to stop on a flex route stop outside of their flex route hours. The "Golden green bus" is incredibly convenient as it stops at the Colorado School of Mines and the JeffCo Light Rail Station. As a CSM student, I get a discounted bus pass every year which makes for easy commuting. I am very excited that RTD expanded their service out to Golden. I'd like to see light rail service to the airport next (crossing my fingers that it was connect with the W-line with only one transfer!).

I used the service in the past and never had a problem; however, RTD has recently contracted with a…read morenew provider called Via: https://viacolorado.org/. In recent weeks, there have been a number of problems, including a 55 minute wait to be picked up one afternoon, a bus that never showed on another afternoon, drivers who have not been trained (to the extent that they don't know the routes or, at times, even how to use their onboard computer/GPS system), and a missed connection at light rail on one morning. As I say, all of these incidents have taken place within recent weeks, and I never had trouble with the previous contractor. I do not fault the drivers. With one exception, the new drivers have all been pleasant, and I don't mind providing directions as needed. I am absolutely dependent on the service and I really need it to work as it used to work. A complaint has also been submitted to RTD directly: 300-299-6000.

A recent experience with Boulder Transport was not good. My flight arrived at 5:45pm at the Denver…read moreairport. At 5:59pm I was instructed by text to meet the driver at a specific pickup location. I arrived there shortly afterward, but the driver was not present. I received multiple texts stating "take me about three minutes to get there," "3 minutes," "I'm coming," etc. Yet the vehicle did not arrive until approximately 6:40pm. As an older traveler with mobility concerns, I hired a limo service specifically for peace of mind and reliability. The vehicle itself was fine, and I did ultimately get home safely. However, the delay and the inaccurate arrival estimates created unnecessary anxiety. When I contacted the company the next day to request acknowledgment and adjustment to their charge, I was told I had only waited three minutes and was informed I am no longer welcome to use the service. I'm sharing this experience for travelers who prioritize reliability and clear communication when arranging airport transportation.

Now it may seem crazy to use a private car company, however Uber in Boulder isn't always reliable. It is also the same price so it made perfect sense. As a parent it truly eased our anxiety. All we can say is that they are amazing, professional, personable, reliable, and dependable. They have been amazing these last 4 years. When I called to talk with the owner Carlos to explain my needs he said," Do not worry we got you and your son"! He and his company have lived up to those words over and over again. Using Boulder Transport is one of the best decisions we every made.
