A reminder that buses replace trains between I-25 & Broadway and Downtown on the S, E & H lines tomorrow until 2:30pm. RTD has not updated its NextRide app, which still shows the trains as running normally, or published a replacement bus schedule. www.greaterdenvertransit.com/rtd-temporar...

The numbers are out & in 2024, RTD added just 55,000 customers to its system for a grand total of 65.23M for the entire year. These stagnant numbers are the result of years of not really caring about customers and show why things need to change and fast. www.greaterdenvertransit.com/rtd-ridership/

The #RTDBoard has waived through the “same old” Allied Universal scope of work with barely a word. Once again they have collectively told you how little they care about the rampant disorder, crime and fare evasion on the RTD system. Employees and public platitudes mean nothing.

Also tonight the #ATU1001 Union is marching on RTD’s HQ at Blake St to highlight the fact that they have been operating on an expired collective bargaining agreement (CBA) since Jan 1st. The main sticking point? Pay. “Without transit workers, transit doesn’t work”.

Tonight our members are sharing stories of times they’ve been assaulted, robbed, threatened or made to feel very uncomfortable on @RideRTD vehicles at the #RTDBoardMeeting. It’s time the agency came up with a better fare collection & security plan than hanging out at Union Stn.

GDT is sad to learn of the passing of Denver visionary Dana Crawford at 93 years old. Dana was the mother of the historic building preservation movement in Denver and we have her to thank for Larimer Square, the Oxford Hotel, the Icehouse and Union Station amongst others.

6th busiest system in N America carrying 138M people a year despite only having 25 miles of lines and serving Monterrey (MX), a city of 4M people. Perhaps the all-day 5 min frequency has something to do with it? Also, anyone think the trains look a little familiar? #GDTOnTour
