You've Been RTD-ing All Day, But When Does the Party Stop? A Guide to Denver's Nightlife (RTD Style)
So you've been painting the town red (or maybe green, depending on your beverage of choice). You've bar-hopped from LoDo to Larimer Square, and your dance moves are so on point they're practically illegal. But here's the thing, champion partier: even the most epic nights must end eventually, and that includes the Denver RTD.

| What Time Does Denver Rtd Stop Running |
Fear Not, Fellow Night Owl!
The good news is, Denver's RTD system is pretty generous with its late-night service. Most light rail lines run until around 1:00 am on weekdays and Saturdays, and some even creep into the wee hours of Sunday morning (bless their little electric hearts).
However, there are a few things to keep in mind:
Tip: Don’t just glance — focus.
- Bus schedules can vary, so be sure to check the app or website before you hit the snooze button and miss your ride home.
- Special events and holidays can sometimes affect RTD hours, so plan accordingly. Think of yourself as a public transportation ninja, always prepared!
But Wait, There's More!
Feeling fancy and wanting to avoid the crowds? Consider a rideshare app like Lyft or Uber. Just remember, late-night surges can be a thing, so be prepared to pay a little extra for your post-party chariot.
Here's a handy dandy trick: If you know you'll be out past RTD hours, plan your adventure near a light rail station. That way, you can stumble (responsibly, of course) onto the platform and snag a ride home before Cinderella's carriage, well, you get the idea.
Tip: Look out for transitions like ‘however’ or ‘but’.
So You Think You Can RTD All Night?
How to Check RTD Schedules:
 |
- Download the RTD App (it's your best friend, trust me).
- Visit the RTD website:
https://app.rtd-denver.com/ - Text "RTD" to 303-327-7680 for real-time arrival information (because who wants to talk on the phone anymore?).
How to Avoid Missing the Last Train:
Tip: A slow skim is better than a rushed read.
- Set an alarm: Your phone isn't just for Instagram, you know.
- Pace yourself: Don't get so caught up in the party that you forget about the clock (or your wallet).
- Have a backup plan: Download a rideshare app just in case (see "But Wait, There's More!" above).
How to Impress Your Friends with Your RTD Knowledge:
- Casually drop the fact that you know exactly when the last train leaves.
- Offer to navigate the RTD app like a pro (because you will be, after reading this post).
- Challenge them to a RTD trivia night (okay, maybe this one requires a bit more effort).
How to Not Be "That Guy" on the Last Train:
Tip: Read aloud to improve understanding.
- Keep the noise level down (think library whispers, not rock concert screams).
- Be mindful of other passengers' space (personal bubbles still exist, even on public transport).
- Offer your seat to someone who needs it more (chivalry isn't dead, folks!).
Now go forth, conquer the night, and ride the RTD responsibly (and maybe even a little triumphantly) until the very last train.
