Operative words

RTD public transit, as critical infrastructure, continues to operate for essential travel. A service reduction plan will take effect April 19. Fare collection is suspended at this time on all services. Please board from the rear door until further notice, unless you need ADA assistance.... RTD will switch to rear-door boarding and exiting on most buses, which provides another layer of social distancing between operators and riders.
