Flatiron Flyer
Fast. Reliable. Connected.
RTD’s Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service, the Flatiron Flyer, is the first BRT service to connect Denver with the northwest metro region’s businesses, federal institutions and the University of Colorado Boulder. Riders have access to downtown Boulder, downtown Denver, other stops along the 36 Corridor, the Anschutz Medical Campus, along with connections to Denver International Airport and other parts of the Denver metro area.
The service comes every 15 minutes and allows for commuters and recreational passengers to leave their cars at home – saving money, time, and curbing personal air pollution. Whether traveling to work in Broomfield, a Rockies game in Denver, or a hike in Boulder – try the Flatiron Flyer!

Fast and Frequent Service All Day

Improvements along US 36—including the US 36 Express Lanes and newly built shoulders that bypass slow-moving traffic—means the Flatiron Flyer will provide more reliable, frequent and predictable service. Passengers can park their cars or bikes at any one of the six transit stations along the route, which features 4,200 parking spaces and more than 200 bike racks and lockers.
