RTD and Masabi may modify these terms and conditions at any time by posting revised terms and conditions. By clicking on the link below, you agree to accept these terms and conditions and the general terms of use relating to the website managed by RTD. Visit the general terms of use on the RTD website to learn more.
Mobile Ticketing
Mobile tickets application "Mobile Tickets App" refers to RTD's mobile ticketing application on an iOS or Android device. "Third-party Application" refers to RTD-authorized third-party mobility applications on an iOS or Android device. Mobile Ticket or "mTicket" refers to a type of ticket or pass purchased through the RTD Mobile Tickets App or Third-party Application. 3-Hour Passes, Day Passes, and Monthly Passes are valid for use on RTD bus and rail service except for Access-a-Ride Services and RTD Special Services, when available. Access-a-Ride tickets are only valid on Access-a-Ride Service. "Stored Value" refers to funds loaded onto the RTD Mobile Tickets application. The "Stored Value Account" is part of the customer account in RTD's Mobile Tickets App. Customers can use these pre-loaded Stored Value Account funds as a payment method when purchasing mTickets. Stored Value funds are not valid for travel on RTD services; the customer must purchase and activate a mTicket to pay the fare. The security of your mobile phone or mTicket is your responsibility.
RTD recommends that you create an RTD Mobile Tickets App account for your protection. If your mobile phone is lost or stolen, you will be able to migrate unused, unexpired mTickets as well as any unused balance on a Stored Value Account to your new mobile device when logging into your customer account on the new device. If you delete the RTD Mobile Tickets App, you will also delete your mTickets from your device. If you reinstall the RTD Mobile Tickets App on the mobile device it was deleted from and log into your account, your tickets will be downloaded to the device. RTD will not provide a duplicate or replacement mTicket for used or expired mTickets.
Your mTicket must be activated before boarding an RTD revenue vehicle and must be displayed clearly on a mobile phone screen to the operator every time you board an RTD revenue vehicle or when requested by a fare inspector, road supervisor, or police officer. Retain the mTicket during your entire trip on RTD revenue vehicles. Failure to show an active, valid ticket is considered fare evasion and is subject to enforcement actions according to RTD policy and local and state laws. You cannot print mTickets or transfer tickets to other individuals.
However, you may purchase and activate multiple tickets on the same mobile device for a group riding together. You will have to display an active, valid mTicket for each member of your group to the operator every time you board an RTD revenue vehicle or when requested by a fare inspector or police officer.
In the case of Access-a-Ride Service, an aide who accompanies a passenger with a disability rides for free.
Your RTD mTicket or Stored Value is sold to you via RTD's mobile ticketing partner, Masabi. The mTicket itself creates a contract between you and RTD to provide the transport services that the mTicket allows you to use. It is RTD that provides these transport services to you. In no event will Masabi, or any third-party mobile app ticket seller, be responsible for, or have any liability to you, concerning these transport services or their availability or performance (including your use or access to any RTD revenue vehicle, the RTD network, your use of any services provided under your mTicket, or for your use of the RTD Mobile Tickets App).
RTD Mobile Tickets Application
RTD grants you the right to download, install and use the RTD Mobile Tickets App on your mobile device to purchase mTickets and Stored Value and access information in accordance with these terms and conditions. You do not and will not own the RTD Mobile Tickets App or any information that is provided to you through it or RTD, but you may use the application in accordance with these terms and conditions solely for the purposes of purchasing mTickets and Stored value, using mTickets, and accessing transport information for your personal use and not for any other purpose. The RTD Mobile Tickets application is provided to you free of charge. However, RTD can suspend access to purchasing mTickets and Stored Value through the RTD Mobile Tickets App and can do so for any reason.
Third-Party Application Channel Sales
Currently, the only RTD-authorized Third-party Applications that fulfill RTD mTickets are the Uber, and Transit apps. The RTD Mobile Tickets App and the Third-party Applications are wholly different and separate applications, governed by separate Privacy Policies and Terms and Conditions of Use, which you can review on the respective applications. Login credentials and accounts between the RTD Mobile Tickets App and the Third-party Applications are not shared. Your RTD Mobile Tickets App account is different from your Third-party Application account. Your RTD Mobile Tickets App ticket wallet only stores RTD mTickets purchased from the RTD Mobile Tickets App. Your ticket wallet in a Third-party Application only stores RTD mTickets purchased from the Third-party Application. RTD mTickets purchased in the Third-party Application will only be available in the Third-party Application. RTD mTickets purchased in the RTD Mobile Tickets App will only be available in the RTD Mobile Tickets App and are not transferable to a Third-party Application. RTD Stored Value Accounts are only available in the RTD Mobile Tickets App and are only available for purchasing mTickets in the RTD Mobile Tickets App. Funds are not transferable to a Third-party Application. RTD mTickets can only be applied towards RTD transit services and cannot be applied towards mobility services offered by Third-party Applications. Other mobility services, such as ride-hailing, scooters, and bike-sharing services, are not available in the RTD Mobile Tickets App. RTD mTickets purchased in a Third-party Application will be sold to you by RTD through its mobile ticketing partner, Masabi, in the Third-party Application.
Prices and Receipts
When you purchase a mTicket or load value to your Stored Value Account, the RTD Mobile Tickets App will notify you of the price before confirming your purchase. For information on fares, please visit the RTD fare information web page at rtd-denver.com/fares-passes/fares. Once you complete your purchase, a receipt will be emailed to the email address you provided.

Discount fares apply to seniors 65+, individuals with disabilities, and Medicare recipients. Youth discount fares apply to youth ages 6-19 (up to three children ages 5 and younger ride free with a fare-paying adult). LiVE discount fares are available for low-income individuals enrolled in the RTD LiVE Program. Proof of eligibility is required for all passengers using discounted fare products. Active duty members of the U.S. military ride free on all RTD services. Individuals with disabilities may obtain a Special Discount Card by calling 303-299-2667. The unauthorized use of discounted fare products is a form of fare evasion and will be enforced according to RTD policy and local and state laws.

Access-a-Ride Tickets
The Access-a-Ride tickets are available for individuals with disabilities enrolled in the RTD Access-a-Ride Program. An RTD Access-a-Ride identification card as proof of eligibility for all passengers using Access-a-Ride fare products is required. The Access-a-Ride ticket is good for one-way travel on Access-a-Ride Service only; not valid on any other RTD services.

Data Charges and Connectivity
The RTD Mobile Tickets App is free, but you may incur data charges from your cell phone network provider. You are responsible for any such costs. RTD will not take responsibility for any connectivity issues you may experience.
Availability and Updates
Travel is based on fare applicability on RTD services at the time of purchasing a ticket.
Once purchased, the mTicket will specify the fare type and the ticket's validity.
RTD reserves the right to issue updates to the RTD Mobile Tickets App, in which case you may not be able to continue using the version of the RTD Mobile Tickets App installed on your mobile device without downloading the latest update. Therefore, RTD recommends that you download and install all updates issued. RTD is not liable for errors that become apparent in old versions of the RTD Mobile Tickets App.
Changes, Refunds, and Replacements
All sales are final. mTickets will only be replaced under special circumstances, including but not limited to service disruptions of the RTD Mobile Tickets App. RTD will not issue duplicate or replacement tickets for mTickets used without your permission and will not replenish funds in a Stored Value Account used without your consent by a person to whom you have given access to your mobile device or customer account. If the mTicket is damaged or is not readable in any way, it becomes invalid; you must purchase a new ticket.
The decision to change, cancel, refund, or replace a mTicket is at RTD's sole and absolute discretion. Neither RTD nor Masabi shall be obliged to change, cancel, or replace a mTicket when RTD has reason to believe that the circumstances prompting the change, cancellation, or replacement is the result of fraud. Please contact RTD Customer Care at 303.299.6000 for mTicket issues.
If a mTicket was purchased using funds from a Stored Value Account, any refund returns the value to the Stored Value Account. RTD will not provide a cash reimbursement under any circumstances. Please note that refunds shall be for only the mTicket(s) price. Any other associated fees are non-refundable.
Stored Value Accounts with no activity (funds added or purchase made) for five years are considered Dormant. RTD will transfer the remaining Stored Value Account balance to the State of Colorado according to the Colorado Unclaimed Property Act.
