Downtown Denver is buzzing again, and the 16th Street FreeRide shuttle is a big reason why. Since RTD restored full service, ridership has soared—July alone saw over 200,000 boardings, nearly back to pre-pandemic highs. Locals are loving the no-cost, all-electric ride connecting shopping, dining, and events, especially with the return of the festive Holiday Train and gingerbread-wrapped buses. Plus, zero-fare rides on New Year’s Eve make it even easier to celebrate safely. Have you hopped on the FreeRide lately? What’s your take on these changes—are they making downtown more accessible and fun for everyone? #Transportation #Denver #16thStreetMall
