RTD fares
RTD fares are charged according to the type of bus service, and for light rail, number of fare zones traveled.
For riders requiring multiple buses/light rail to complete a trip, a free transfer can be requested when boarding for cash and ticket riders. A validated light rail ticket also serves as a transfer. A bus transfer or light rail ticket is valid for 3 hours. A transfer is not valid for service in the opposite direction. A fare upgrade is required when boarding a bus with a higher fare than the value of the transfer.
School enrollment is required for youth ages 14-19 (middle or high school) to qualify for youth fare. Active US military members ride free on all RTD services.
