Partygoers who need a safe ride home on New Year’s Eve will be able to hop on RTD’s trains or buses for free.
Fare collections stop at 7 p.m. Dec. 31 and resume at 7 a.m. Jan. 1 on all RTD routes, including Access-a-Ride and FlexRide services.
Trains and buses will operate on their usual Wednesday night hours on New Year’s Eve, meaning the final train will leave Union Station between 12:48 a.m. and 1:26 a.m., depending on the line. Final bus departure times range from 12:14 a.m. to 1:10 a.m.
The routes will run on a reduced schedule on New Year’s Day.
The 16th Street shuttle will operate, with pauses during fireworks shows at 9 p.m. and midnight. The special holiday train from Interstate 25 and Broadway to downtown will only go as far as the convention center because of the fireworks, according to RTD.
Molson Coors is sponsoring the free rides, as usual. It has offered about 10 million free rides since 1988, and is partnering with transit authorities in seven cities, including Denver, this year.
