Emmanuel, my African brother working the security booth at DIA, either didn’t know how the lost and found process works or just didn’t care. I came to pick up my bike, which I was told was being stored there, and even with Mike from train security trying to explain to him what to do and who to call, Emmanuel just stood there saying, “We don’t have your bike, man,” while glancing around like it would be sitting out in plain sight. I kept telling him I was directed to DIA to get it, and I was sure it was there somewhere. But he didn’t put in even the slightest effort to check or ask around. I ended up having to leave the bike behind so I wouldn’t miss my train, something that could’ve been avoided if he had just taken a few minutes to actually look. Emmanuel, if you ever see this, I hope you take this as a learning moment . At the very least, learn where the lost and found storage area is and try to actually help people next time. That’s part of the job. The 5 stars are for the dispatch team and the train security who helped track down, secure, and return my bike to the station for pickup. Everything would’ve gone smoothly if Emmanuel had...
Read moreOpening in 2016, this station is the Eatsern Terminus to the young RTD Commuter Line, known as the A-Line that is similar to the SEPTA Airport Line into terms of rolling stock and proximity to the airport.
Compared to SEPTA, this airport station connects you to all three stations, and for 10 dollars, you can take the other RTD light rail trains, commuter trains, and busses all for one low cost that should not be elaborated about, considering how much a steal it is. The train conveniently will prop you right at the Jeppensen Terminal, and will give you a gateway to enter into the airport in the security area. If you need to check a bag, there is one caveat I shall convey. The escalators will dump you into the TSA Screening area. This means that you will likely have to go upstairs to check in with your respective airline. Which is what I had to do to get secured on my flight.
Overall. Traveling from Downtown Denver to the Denver International Airport is an affordable jaunt that will save you lots of money on a rental car if you are residing in the area, and also works too for locals, saving hundreds in gas money to travel in...
Read moreWell, the A line to the airport used to be really reliable in my experience. I use the train a LOT to get to/from the airport and downtown for work. On 6/19/19 I tried to take the 9 am train to the airport, but a train ahead was stuck without power so we were stuck at Union Station. I immediately booked an Uber ride. Today, 6/21, the train from Union to the airport is running SUPER slow. It keeps slowing down or stopping completely. The 3 pm train should have pulled into the airport station at 3:35, but it is now 3:50 and we are just arriving at the airport. If this level of service disruption, unreliability and unpredictability continues, I will have no choice but to drive and park at...
