Skyride and Airport Transportation

Boulder from afar [Diagonal Highway]

So if you're an out-of-state Colorado student, the major dilema when break comes around is how to get from Boulder to Denver International Airport, about an hour's drive away. You can beg a friend, take a ridiculously expensive taxi, or... take Skyride!
The Skyride AB bus is a bus directly from the UMC to DIA- all for FREE when you have a student RTD (Regional Transportation Denver) Pass, which is included in your student fees each year. I brought a car to campus, so previously I had always just driven myself to the airport. That means I paid tolls for E-470 and parking, which for my average trip (I go to Connecticut to visit my mom and sister) probably runs me about 50 bucks. Imagine how dumb I feel right now knowing that I could have taken a bus that drops me off right at the terminal-for free- this entire time. :-(
Skyride was only a little slower than driving- mostly because there were other stops to make before we went directly to DIA. But the driver was efficient and nice, there was plenty of room for all your stuff, and the time estimates for arrival and departure from each stop were totally accurate.
So if you're headed to the airport anytime soon, get some extra sleep and take the bus- it's definitely better than you expect. :-)
