Denver commuters and visitors now have a new reason to hop aboard the 16th Street FreeRide: RTD has launched a mobile history tour that brings the story of the city’s famous pedestrian mall to life right from the bus.
According to ColoradoBiz, RTD introduced the mobile history tour on the 16th Street FreeRide, giving riders an engaging, on-the-go look at the history of one of downtown Denver’s most beloved corridors. The tour is designed to entertain and inform passengers as they travel the length of the mall, turning an everyday commute into a mini cultural experience.
The 16th Street Mall has long been a centerpiece of downtown Denver, stretching through the heart of the city and connecting neighborhoods, shops, restaurants, and transit hubs. With this new history tour, RTD is adding an extra layer of community value to a service that is already free for riders along that route.
The initiative is a creative way to celebrate Denver’s heritage while encouraging more residents and tourists to take advantage of public transit. Whether you’re a longtime Denverite curious about the city’s past or a visitor eager to explore downtown, the FreeRide’s new mobile tour offers a fun, accessible, and no-cost way to connect with the Mile High City’s story.
Keep an eye out next time you board the 16th Street FreeRide — you just might learn something new about the city you call home.
