Free-Stapleton Bus Routes and Schedules Now in Easy-to-Read Flyer
The Stapleton Transportation Mangement Association (TMA) has assumed the task of making public transportation schedules easier to read and understand with Rapid Read bus schedules.
Recent surveys have shown that workers in the northeastern quadrant of Denver use the RTD bus and light rail system more than the average Denver resident.
The schedules will focus ont he eight most widely utilized routes in Stapleton, as well as specific schedules for four major connection points.
"The information is laid out in a hub and spoke approach, with the Stapleton Transfer Center as the hub, and major connection points like the Downing Street light rail station and downtown transfer locations as the spoke points," said Angie Rivera-Malpiede, director of the Stapleton TMA.
The Rapid Read schedules will be available for routes: 20,28,38,43,44,48,73 and 105.
"The full RTD schedules are so comprehensive that they are extremely tedious to read due to the font size, and even RTD isn't able to put all of the scheduled times on their material because it's so much information," Rivera-Malpiede said.
The pocket-sized Rapid Read schedules are available at: Perk Hill Coffee House, 2202 Kearney St., Northfield Forest City Commercial Management, 8340 Northfield Blvd., Suite 2600; Stapleton Area TMA 7350 E 29th Ave., Suite 300; Stapleton Master Community Association, 2823 Syracuse St., First Bank, 2850 Quebec St.; Instant Imprints, 7505 E 35th St., Quebec Square Retail Center, Suite 305; and Starbucks, 7300 E 29th Ave. and also 8340 Northfield Blvd.
