RTD will begin operating bus Routes 15 and 15L in the two center lanes of Colfax Avenue – from Broadway to Colorado Boulevard – on Sept. 27.
Customers of Routes 15/15L will board and deboard from the BRT’s center station platforms, which will include new security cameras, lighting, public address (PA) systems and emergency phones.
Customers will continue to board and pay at the forward door but may exit from any door.
To expedite travel time, bike racks have been installed inside the buses, rather than at the front of the bus. Customers with bikes will board at the rear door to load their bikes onto racks inside the bus, then pay at the front of the bus.
Another new feature to expedite service is near-level boarding at stations. For customers with accessibility needs, the bus will rise and a ramp will be deployed for ease of boarding.
