yeah it is too bad tho i understand why. Personally i think RTD best bet for electrification is trolley busses imagine the 15 and 15Ltd running on trolley busses that would be huge

from what i can see its listed as FTDMA which is First denver though its possible it could have been moved

if you ride the N line you can see the western stock show buses to the west

late quote on this but i noticed the 1500 mci's have more capacity than the 3600s boulder only has i think 13 of them so i havent been in one to see why do you happen to know why?

Proposed service changes for May are out and I noticed that BOLT isn't getting a service reduction for the summer which I really like Also they are planing a small return of the ff2 3 trips each peak period 2 of them will be peak direction while 1 will be reverse peak So in the morning it would be 2 east to Denver and 1 west to Boulder and the opposite for the afternoon

wiki page should be updated to list the C and F lines as discontinued as per january service changes January 2023 | RTD - Denver

really exited to see these on the road im going to be watching pantograph so hard

3954 is retired I just walked past FTL and it's sitting in the spare parts parking lot the back destination sign is painted over and it seems the brake lights where taken out can't quite tell from the pic I took

if the next trip wasn't also delayed there would be 2 buses going southbound at same time wow

so RTD went with the extended mask mandate for may 3rd but today they reverted so now masks arent required only encouraged

OH wow that's insane I'm gonna see if I can catch it on the camera if it's still running

Since this next bus order is intended to replace our old 40s and 29s I wouldn't doubt some of them get new route wraps maybe even a new design for the wrap True I'm a fan of most of the changes some do seem a bit weird

something related to the jump route i wonder if they are going to keep running only 40fts on it or switch back to 29fts with some 40s thrown in because i do miss seeing the jump wrap on its route from time to time even if only a few buses had it, if they do its going to be rarer to see since the phantoms got retired and some of those had jump wraps

Bus 5157 running jump earlier today got caught in a sinkhole picture after water was drained getting ready for tow

Caught myself a silver skirt MCI with framed windows while waiting for a flexride #1995

Took a nice afternoon walk to go see and ride this bad boy I think there is no replacement available so their just gonna finish the block

i feel bad for first transit Longmont bunch of buses breaking down today 2 broke down on 324 one was 3955 at 1:59 it got replaced by 3956 but it sat at the south end of the route until 3:10 when it left to go start its southbound trip it was supposed to be on at 8th and coffman the second one was 3963 it was replaced by a 40ft bus 5232 dont know what time this one broke down but ive been tracking it since its 2:14 trip south it is currently still running 324 5226 on LD3 broke down on its first trip of the day it got replaced by 5194

something cool i found today This video has an advertisement for RTD from 1983 at 1:35 the bus shown is 4890 A GMC T6H-5307N

I'm hoping with the announcement of the contract yesterday RTD is able to finally restore more service especially in Boulder County

went out on a walk and took some pictures of some infrastructure not in use Francis st and 17th Ave pad for a shelter serving the former 326 route northside loop clockwise bus shelter on 17th Ave not in use other than ads served the former 326 route Bench for a former stop on 17th Ave serving the former 326 route platform for a bus stop on Francis St not quite sure which route it served but i believe it was the 302 school service

yeah it was there earlier wonder if there will be one on tuesday

especially with RTD being busy trying to expand its rail network more these past few years it gets expensive real quick

does anyone have any info on what stop announcement system RTD uses im really interested on it

I wonder when the new buses will get delivered I'm honestly looking forward to it

8th & coffman PnR on a weekday theres 6 buses every hour at the 30-minute mark and 3 every hour even on a saturday you will see 6 every hour at the 30-minute mark and none at the even hour marks as all the buses are 1 hour headway and lastly on a sunday only the 324 runs so its just 2 buses every hour at the 30-minute mark for regional routes BOLT has some stupid times so transferring from a local to BOLT takes a bit its every half hour at the 22 and 52 min marks local buses arrive at 25-minute mark and leave at the 32 mark or the 55 mark and leave at 02-minute mark LD3 has actually good, timed transfers its every hour at the 58 mark for the morning then the 02 mark in afternoon
