 RTD, Denver by tejanasueca
There is a fairly well developed bus system in Denver. The routes generally go in a south-north, or east-west direction. Major streets, such as Colorado (40), University (24), and Evans (20), etc have their own lines.
The cost for a one way passage is currently $1.25 (you can change buses, but not the direction in which you are going).
The also have buses that go to neighboring towns, such as Boulder, and the airport. However, these are more expensive.
For more info, time tables, and maps, go to their website. Leave a Comment

 taxi by RJ1967
Downtown to DIA: The fare is a flat rate of $45!! The driver must run the meter (for insurance reasons), but no matter what the meter says, its $45. If you share a ride it's $45 for the first two passengers, then theres a fee of $0.20 for each additional passenger. If a driver tells you otherwise, he/she is wrong.
I split a fare with 2 guys from South Africa and somehow we got soaked for $75 on what we thought should be $45. We all felt screwed.
If you think you're being treated unfairly get the taxi number and the drivers name. Call your complaint to the main taxi phone number and ask for a supervisor. Don't get screwed, as I did. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherPhone: Yellow Cab 303-777-7777Other Contact: Metro cab 303-333-3333

 Not the Rio Grande Railroad by caffeine_induced78
A new line is set to open in November of 2006 that runs to the Southeast suburbs of Denver. It does not serve many tourist areas, but is more designed to give commuters the option of using public rail over cars. Also, Denver area voters in their ability to plan and think about the future voted in a tax increase to pay for a massive new rail public transportation expansion due to open in about 2016, it is planned to provide over 100 miles of new rail!

The Greyhound station is located in downtown Denver at 19th and Stout. You can get buses to all destinations in the midwest and western US from here.
Heres some sample trips and travel times:
Los Angeles: 4 trips daily. Travel time: 24 hours
San Francisco: 4 trips, 28 hours
Portand, OR: 4 trips 28 hours
Chicago: 4 trips 24 hours
Dallas: 4 trips 19 hours
The biggest things to know is that the station is closed from midnight to 6am. There are buses that come and go during this time, but if you need to buy a ticket, or anythting like that, these services aren't available late at night. If you are waiting to transfer you'll be stuck outside with (basically) nowhere to go and nothing to do

See my USA intro page for all the general Greyhound information a traveler needs.

To find a telephone go to the 19th street entrance. If you're comming from the street, the phones are on the right. One of those phones is equipped with a TTY machine. (Those are phones specially equipped for the deaf). Leave a Comment Theme: BusPhone: 303-293-6555Website: www.greyhound.com Other Contact: address - 1055 19th St

 DIA Terminal building by RJ1967
For schedules go to www.rtd-denver.com . The trips to/from downtown cost $8. These buses serve other parts of the metro area as well. If your taking an RTD (Skyride) bus to the airport you pay the driver (cash only - have exact change).
Greyhound also has 3-4 trips a day to the airport from downtown. Buy tickets for these buses at the station or online at: www.greyhound.com
RTD and Greyhound can accomodate luggage. RTD has bike racks on the front of their buses. They can hold 2 bikes. They can also accomodate large luggage under the bus
There are several taxi companies: Yellow Cab, phone 303-777-7777. Metro cab 303-333-3333.
E-tickets:
I was told (by ppl onine) that I could bring my e-ticket printout right to the gate and get my ticket. You can't do that. You have to either go to the ticket counter or go to those machines where you run your credit card thru and it issues the ticket. (I didn't see any of these. Where are they?)
When you get your ticket at the gate you only get the ticket for the flight that day. If you have a return ticket you have to go to the ticket counter on the day of that flight to get that ticket.
My opinion: Thats a pain in the a**, especially during holidays when the lines are miles long. There's no convenience in those tickets. Leave a Comment
