So I have the firsthand experience regarding public transit. Today is my first ride. I rated it as four stars, based on the following highlights (no particular order): + Ample outdoor parking that's CHEAP + Parking pay station collocated with ride ticket vending machine + Rides are cheap...no comparison needed + Train cleanliness appears to be of importance + Timely departure and arrival + Airport service via transfer at Union station - NO restrooms at this particular station, or I missed them Overall great way to travel locally and especially to a Broncos game, like I am tonight.

Save time, save money and ride the train from the airport to Golden CO! It's easy, it's cheap and if you are 65 there is even a discount. Park at the Jeffco line because it's free and a safe place to leave your ride and not have a hassle fighting for a space downtown. The government building is right next door to the West line so no worries about your car. The train is clean and you don't have to stress the traffic.

Free parking two miles from my house and a $4 ride to a Rockies game? Yup!!…read more PLENTY of free parking here in the covered garage. There are two ticket machines; one takes cash and card and the other is card only. So many reasons to ride the light rail! Avoid busy traffic, avoid parking hassles and fees, see some cool sights, have a few drinks downtown without worrying about a DD, and support public transportation!! People watching is never disappointing either. Usually takes us about 40-45 minutes to get to Union Station. My only complaint about all of these stations is they need more ticket machines. This one isn't as much of a problem as Union Station or Pepsi Center where we have waited 45 minutes after an event to get our tickets. But we have missed a train a time or two here because we are waiting in line. Yay for public transportation!!

He's energetic and peppy in the morning, which makes for a very enjoyable ride to school. The Golden Call-N-Ride is an extention of RTD public transit services. They have a scheduled route, a flex route (runs at certain time intervals), and a call-in service. You must call and reserve a pick-up at least 2 hours in advance. While I have not used the call-in service, I have called to ask them to stop on a flex route stop outside of their flex route hours. The "Golden green bus" is incredibly convenient as it stops at the Colorado School of Mines and the JeffCo Light Rail Station. As a CSM student, I get a discounted bus pass every year which makes for easy commuting. I am very excited that RTD expanded their service out to Golden. I'd like to see light rail service to the airport next (crossing my fingers that it was connect with the W-line with only one transfer!).

I used the service in the past and never had a problem; however, RTD has recently contracted with a…read morenew provider called Via: https://viacolorado.org/. In recent weeks, there have been a number of problems, including a 55 minute wait to be picked up one afternoon, a bus that never showed on another afternoon, drivers who have not been trained (to the extent that they don't know the routes or, at times, even how to use their onboard computer/GPS system), and a missed connection at light rail on one morning. As I say, all of these incidents have taken place within recent weeks, and I never had trouble with the previous contractor. I do not fault the drivers. With one exception, the new drivers have all been pleasant, and I don't mind providing directions as needed. I am absolutely dependent on the service and I really need it to work as it used to work. A complaint has also been submitted to RTD directly: 300-299-6000.

I have no idea how much the parking costs because I found a free street parking space both times I was here. There are automated ticket vending machines on the platform and you will absolutely want to buy a ticket. All four times I rode the train, there was a conductor checking for fares. The train is clean and comfortable enough. It's only a 12 minute run from Westminster to Union station so I suppose it wouldn't be too bad if it was crowded during the rush hour runs. Three stars because the train only runs every hour. That's a big gap between trains!

Free street parking but you'll likely be using the garage. Supposedly the price goes up for parking and of October (2016) but to what fee is unclear at this time. Used the train for the first time going downtown for Great American Beer Festival so that was convenient. Not drinking and driving etc. only pain is the last train to Westminster/Arvada is around 10:20. For people wanting to stay out later it's nice to drive. Still the train took about eleven minutes into Union Station and around fourteen to get back to Westminster. Would ride again.

Strange little route throughout Broomfield. Instead of going down the busiest street (128th Ave.),…read moreit goes through a random neighborhood. It starts out on Midway (going east), but then decides to snake through a neighborhood. The drivers are always friendly. One driver pulled the bus over for this group of people (not at a stop) because someone thought they might have left something with their kin who got off the bus. A bit inconvenient to me as I had to wait while someone shouted "Tameka! Tameka!" down the street. Tameka turned around and shouted back to the people on the bus. I'm sure the residents of Broomtown (yes, I know it's Broomfield) were looking out their windows, locking their doors, as they might have thought something was going down. Silly suburbs. From Wagon Road Park-N-Ride (120th and Huron) to Broomfield Park-N-Ride (119th and Wadsworth) and back again. Infrequent runs, no weekend routes, no frills. It gets the job done.

It would be awesome to have it actually go down 128th, as the name implies, and more particularly if you live right off of it. There appear to be a couple of unused stops in the area that would do everyone in the 128th - 136th Street crowd a huge favor if they were utilized by this route.

There's a tremendously capacious parking lot, clean platforms, easy access to the regional bus lines, and it's easy to get to either via car or on foot of mass transit is more how you get around. The accessway to the eastbound platform is on the west side, which I suppose might make sense to someone who builds train stations instead of uses them. It's also on the far side from Oak Street, so of course you'll have to hoof it post-haste around the horn if you're tardy. Great way to get downtown for Broncos or Rockies games, since the line runs straight to Union Station and from there you can grab a bus or just walk some more if you're into that sort of thing.

The problem is, because of RTD's asinine pricing scale for regional tickets, the Lakewood-Wadsworth station charges for parking if you don't live within certain boundaries created by RTD and the DMV. A fact that is not disclosed anywhere clearly and that I was unaware of until I received a notice. Public transit is supposed to be an equalizer, a method of transportation for everyone of every class, but RTD continues to impose barriers that make it challenging to even afford to get to work.

It's the furthest you can get from Union Station and stay within 2 zones, if you want a parking lot because the Garrison station has no parking.
