Uber - dgaraghty - 06-15-2022
Does anyone know if Uber comes up to the Bar K? When I look on my Uber app it looks like they will but wanted to make sure before I rely on it to get me to the airport on Monday.

If you haven't taken the bus from Table Mesa to DIA, you're missing out.
It's fast and reliable, only makes 1 stop, and you save a lot of hassle.
If you've had bad bus service in the past, this will be an epiphany.
The bus runs every hour in each direction, and takes 40 minutes, and goes right to your airline gate.
During some peak periods, they will increase buses and run every half hour.
It costs $10 ($5 for seniors like myself).
The pass is good all day - and people are in the habit of leaving passes around so the next person can use them -
not that I'd encourage anyone to be a scofflaw and game the system to save a few bucks ;-)
The schedule:

Parking:
https://www.rtd-denver.com/rider-info/how-to-park
Parking:
First 24 hours free. For parking that extends beyond the first 24 hours, a $2.00 daily fee applies to vehicles registered within the district. If your vehicle is registered out of district, a $4.00 daily fee applies. You must pay before getting on the bus or train.
When I lived in Boulder, I found this to be superior to the airport shuttle services,
which make lots of stops.
Also, you'll find that you can often get a ride from a neighbor.

Rose used Lyft and Uber to come from Boulder to the Bar K a couple of times pre-pandemic, but no one would come from Boulder to pick up in the Bar K. For the airport, we usually hitch with a neighbor and then take the RTD. Just a head’s up, a lot of catalysts have been stolen from the Table Mesa Park n Ride.

Thanks Julia! I may try to see if I can get an Uber up here tomorrow morning and if not, I will have Mike drive me to Boulder and I will catch an Uber in Boulder. My car has been in the shop since Memorial Day.
