RTD provides service, connections to Saturday’s Foo Fighters concert

RTD is prepared to support an increase in expected ridership during the Foo Fighters concert on Saturday, Aug. 3 at Empower Field at Mile High. The concert venue’s close proximity to a number of bus stops and rail stations makes public transit a safe and ideal way to access the stadium.

RTD’s Trip Planner will show all available transit options in real time to the Foo Fighters concert. The navigation feature will list train lines and bus routes, along with departure times from the user’s current location.
