Free MallRide
There's so much to see and do downtown! Just hop on board!We’ll Take You Everywhere Downtown
The 16th Street Free MallRide can take you to everything to see and do from Union Station to Civic Center Station. Just hop on board. You don’t need a ticket and there’s no fare. Whether you’re shopping, dining, or out for a night with friends, the Free MallRide’s fully electric, battery-powered vehicles can get you there.
RTD's Free MallRide (soon to be 16th Street FreeRide, see below) is currently on a long-term detour due to ongoing work related to the 16th Street Mall Project, see below for route details.
The Road Ahead - New Name, Same Service!
RTD is in the process of renaming Free MallRide to 16th Street FreeRide to align with Denver’s rebranding of the 16th Street Mall to “16th Street”.
We are currently developing a timeline that will define the months-long project to update the name across the fleet of vehicles, back-end systems, digital assets, signage, schedules, and all other customer-facing tools and assets. The 36-vehicle fleet will continue to reflect RTD’s established brand colors and identity standards.
RTD will continue to update customers on the status of the project. Below is a bus designed for Denver’s Summer Kickoff Event that features the new service name. As this project moves forward, you’ll start seeing more buses carrying the 16th Street FreeRide name — but no matter if the bus says FreeMallRide or 16th Street FreeRide, you can keep riding for free!
