First trip on RTD

Today we did a trial run on RTD out to where I will be working. It was a long day we caught the train to downtown, we then got off at the 16th street mall and wet to the RTD service center to get route maps and talked with the lady to get the best way to get to work. We also found out if you take the light rail and transfer onto a bus do not purchase a round trip light rail pass. if you purchase a one way pass you can use it to transfer onto a bus but if you do a round trip light rail pass you then have to pay the bus fair each way on top of the light rail pass.

We the went back and got on the light rail to the end of the d-line then caught the bus out to where i will be working, that leg is about 50 mins and the light rail is about 30 mins. We got off and walked down to where the office is and that is less than a 5 minute walk.

Ate lunch then just missed the return bus so we had a 35-40 minute wait for the next one.

Over all i will have about a 90 min commute each way luckly the light rail staion is only about 5 minutes for the house.

Unfortionally the bus out if it is not late puts me to the office 5 minutes before I have to be at work, so I will probbly have to take the eairler one and get there 30 minutes early.
