This park-n-ride lot is also a major hub for multiple RTD bus routes; both local and express ones from Union Station. It is not a FREE park-n-ride -- I was under the impression they all were, but apparently not -- this one is a whopping $2 for a day. That'd cover you for about 15 minutes in downtown Denver (10 if you're in a garage)... Pro tip: http://www.rtd-denver.com/HowToPark.shtml
Here's the deets:
Parking Spaces: 1540
Bike Racks: 10
Bike Lockers: 20
Bus Routes: 8, 12, 120, 120X, 122X, 128, AA
Call-n-Ride: Thornton
SportsRides: BroncosRide, BuffRide, CU vs CSU, Race for the Cure, RockiesRide
So yes, indeed; it's pretty major. The thing that I'm giving this major hub 5 stars for is their consideration of passengers who use it on their daily commute. They've constructed 2 large pavilions, replete with many benches, where people can shelter themselves from the elements if need be. I25/Broadway provides very minimal ones. I25/Colorado provides tiny covered "closet" type spaces which *might* hold 10 ppl a piece, if they all cooperated. These pavilions could easily cover 50 people a piece.
That gets my respect, my approving nod, and 5 stars. Good job RTD. If only your other major hubs were this considerate. read more
