There's so much to see and do downtown! Just hop on board!We’ll Take You Everywhere Downtown
The 16th Street FreeRide (formerly Free MallRide) can take you to everything to see and do from Union Station to Wade Blank Civic Center Station. You don’t need a ticket and there’s no fare, just hop on board! Whether you’re shopping, dining, or out for a night with friends, the 16th Street FreeRide’s fully electric, battery-powered vehicles can get you there.
Buses operate from the early morning to late at night every 4-12 minutes depending on time of day. View the schedule here.
And after a long construction detour, full service has returned to 16th Street!
New Name, Same Service!
RTD is renaming the Free MallRide to 16th Street FreeRide, aligning with Denver’s update of the 16th Street Mall to “16th Street.”
The 36-vehicle fleet will keep RTD’s existing brand colors and identity, so you may see buses labeled Free MallRide or 16th Street FreeRide but either way, the ride remains free!
