Estes Park, CO
Pretty much the simplest possible layout for a train/​bus «station» that there could possibly be; the light rail tracks ride up abreast of Colfax and directly next to them is a bus stop. The buses pull into a small channel off to the side of the Colfax/​Lipan intersection, allowing boarding and stopping without impeding traffic.
Other than a hot dog cart, that was it for my entire visit. Saw three different bus lines that service the station, and most of the Light Rail lines pass through this station (though not the C or W, which hit Auraria West Station instead), making it a highly efficient, exceptionally convenient intersection of mass transit. With a friendly hot dog vendor to boot.

All RTD lines pass through here and through downtown. The only line that doesn’t go through here is the E line because it travels to the Auraria West station. The wait can be a pain, but it comes around every 5 – 10 minutes tops. It has days where students, business and busy bodies are packing and crowding the seats of the light rail system, but it’s no big deal when each stop is a convenient way to get to your destination. The train station operators are also great listeners and any issue may be reported to them, as well as a number provided on a sticker inside the train.

This station is a good place to catch the C, D, F, or H lines. It’s very conveniently located next to the Auraria Campus and is mostly populated by students. It can be busy at times, especially on the Southbound trains. You can also catch trains to 18th and California or 30th and Downing from here.
If you need the C or W line, the Auraria West station is located on the western side of campus.

This station is nice n clean, and always busy. Unlike another review said, this is NOT the end of the W Line, and you cannot access it from this station. The W *does* hit up the Auraria West station, and continues to Union Station where it terminates…
Pretty much always on time, avoid traffic and do this.

Its a great spot if you live or need to connect near Auraria… the new West Line will end here…
