RTD bus routes in the Denver area will be detoured Friday and Saturday as the district provides backups and alters service for the Women’s March on Denver.

Some regional bus routes will be detoured and some Light Rail Service extended because of the event, which is expected to draw thousands, the district said in a news release.

On the Flatiron Flyer route, RTD will monitor and back up regularly scheduled service with extra buses assigned as needed leaving Downtown Boulder Station and all stops along this route.

Extra 16th Street Mall shuttles are planned to move march participants between Union Station and Civic Center (Colfax & Broadway).

On local routes and the 120x, RTD will monitor and back up regular service with extra buses that will be assigned as needed.

On all D-Line and H-Line trains, an extra car will be added.

There is ample parking at the B-Line’s Westminster Station (near Federal Boulevard and 71st Avenue) and ample capacity on this hourly service to Union Station at 43 minutes after the hour.
