All aboard! RTD is making new tracks, once again. On Friday, April 26, celebrate the opening of its long-anticipated G Line. With a total of eight stops on its route, the new G Line starts at Union Station in Denver and ends at Ward Road in Wheat Ridge. The new line will run between 4 a.m. and 12:30 a.m., with an expected 15-minute frequency (during peak hours) and a 30-minute frequency at other times.
The 11-mile commuter rail line will offer greater connections to more destinations than ever before, while transporting passengers from Wheat Ridge to Union Station in 26 minutes.
FREE RIDES: To mark the occasion, all rides on the G Line are FREE from Friday, April 26 to Saturday, May 11. Regular service begins on Sunday, May 12. RTD estimates the G Line will transport about 9,000 riders daily.
Even more moving (get it?), rides on all rail lines are FREE on Saturday, April 27.
The grand opening celebration runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., with lots fun and entertainment — click here for the schedule.
Plus, lots of businesses in Olde Town Arvada are offering specials and deals for the day.
