RTD restores full L Line service after downtown rail rebuild ends
Light-rail riders regain direct L Line trips Jan. 4 when the Regional Transportation District reinstates the route shut down during the Downtown Rail Reconstruction Project that wrapped up Nov. 25.
The agency also returns H and D lines to normal downtown routing through 18th/California and 18th/Stout stations instead of terminating at Denver Union Station. E, R, H, D and W lines received minor timetable tweaks for better on-time performance, according to a news release.
RTD adjusts schedules three times yearly based on traffic, ridership, operator availability and customer input. Managers use the changes to boost reliability and clear maintenance windows.
More than 20 bus routes face updates starting that same Sunday. Routes 0, 4, 9, 43, 44, 51, 65, 76, 145X, 153 and 206 get minor timing shifts. Longmont-Denver commuter routes BOLT, LD1, LD3 and LX2 plus mountain corridor routes 323, 324, 326 and 327 see larger adjustments.
Free MetroRide, Flatiron Flyer route FF5 and airport route AB2 also shift slightly. Access-a-Ride paratransit boundaries automatically follow any fixed-route changes, the agency stated.
Officials urge riders to check the Next Ride app or the service changes webpage before traveling. Customers may also call (303) 299-6000 or text 711 for relay service for details.
