Using transit to get into Downtown Denver and throughout the metro area is easy. Run by the Regional Transportation District (RTD), the light rail system offers 35 miles of track and 5 lines to take you to destinations in Downtown Denver, LoDo, Five Points, Araphaoe Square, the Central Platte Valley, Auraria and beyond. If light rail doesn't take you where you need to go, more than 60 RTD bus routes head into Downtown Denver and many stop at or near the three major RTD stations along the 16th Street Mall: Civic Center Station, Market Street Station, and Union Station. Fares for light rail and bus service range from $2.25 to $5.00 and are completely transferable.
