RTD increases service during this week's Taylor Swift concerts at Empower Field at Mile High
RTD is increasing service during this week's Taylor Swift concerts at Empower Field at Mile High. The "Girl Power" performer will be on stage for The Eras Tour July 14 and 15.
According to RTD, the "concert venue's close proximity to a number of bus stops and rail stations makes public transit a safe and ideal way to access the stadium."
RTD is encouraging "Swifties" to use RTD's Next Ride app when planning their trip to and from the stadium. RTD is adding train cars to the regularly scheduled service on the E and W lines, both which service Empower Field at Mile High. Train cars are also being added to the N Line service between Eastlake-124th Station and Union Station.
During July and August, RTD is offering Zero Fare for Better Air which means that all riders can access the entire RTD system free of charge.
Additional Information from RTD:
Head over to Trip Planner and simply type "Taylor Swift" in the destination field. Starting Thursday, July 13, RTD's Trip Planner will show transit options in real time to The Eras Tour at Empower Field. The navigation feature will list all available train and bus routes from the user's current location to the concert venue.
Rail Service
Before and after both concerts, RTD will add train cars to regularly scheduled service on the E and W lines, which both directly serve Empower Field at Mile High. Train cars are also being added to the N Line service between Eastlake●124th Station and Union Station.
