This looks interesting, but it seems that people who work here are not going to be able to take the bus or the train and current train and bus riders cannot attend this event. ???

Harmony Transfer Center

South Glenwood BRT Station
27th Street & CO82
Bus: ??

There will also be free coffee in downtown Denver at the Union Station bus station at gate B3 from 6:00 to 11:00 am.

Bus fares vary, but they are about half what s similar trip on Greyhound would cost. Buses are more frequent than Greyhound's although during the week only. I am hoping that weekend buses are added to Fort Collins for the students. I have not seen the schedule for Gelnwwod Springs yet. I would hope that there are weekend buses as that is when the traffic jams are.
