Using the buses
When you use the public bus service, called RTD, you can ask for a transfer pass if you have to change buses. There is no charge for the pass and using a pass means you don't have to pay again. See the student activities center for an RTD pass sticker on your Blaster card.
RTD fares are cheaper between 9:00 and 3:00. Before and after those hours the buses are more crowded and therefore more expensive to use. You must have exact change; no change will be given by the driver.
RTD schedules are in the INTERLINK office.
RTD to downtown Denver: take bus 16 or 16L , ride it to the end. Return by catching the bus at the same sight where you got off. #17 goes to Cold Springs Park N Ride and requires a transfer to get into Golden.
