RTD’s 2011 rate hikes will hit Boulder, but service cuts won’t
Price hikes and service cuts — a delightful combination. RTD approved ‘em both, and here’s the rundown:
The service cuts include reducing the frequency of some light-rail routes after 9 p.m. on weeknights, and increasing the interval between 16th Street Mall shuttle-bus trips from 6:15 to 8:20 a.m. on weekdays to every 150 seconds from 75 seconds — the current interval.
The mall shuttle handles about 47,000 passenger boardings daily.
RTD staff had proposed that directors eliminate route 63X bus service linking the Littleton Mineral light-rail station with Lockheed Martin’s Waterton complex because of low ridership, but directors chose to retain the route.
Local buses will cost $2.25 and express buses will cost $4.
Um, also, there’s a whole story on the RTD website about a couple who met on the 10 bus and now they have a cake shaped like a bus together or something. I might be missing some details.
