MyRide FAQ

When did the new system launch?

Customers began using the new RTD MyRide system in September 2022 as new validators were being installed across all RTD buses and rail platforms.

What if I have an old MyRide Card?

Create a new RTD MyRide account and use the MyRide Transition Form to transfer the balance of your old MyRide card to your new RTD MyRide account.

What if I used the RTD Mobile Tickets App?

No need to install a new app, simply update to get the RTD MyRide app and all the new features!

Do I need a mobile device to manage my new RTD MyRide account?

No, you can also manage your MyRide account online in the new RTD MyRide web portal.

What happened to the old MyRide discount?

The old MyRide discount is no longer available when using the MyRide mobile barcode or card, but remains available when you purchase mobile or physical 10-Ride Ticket Books. And with fare capping, you'll always get the best price on RTD!

What is fare capping?

Fare capping ensures you never pay more than you should on RTD. When you use your MyRide mobile barcode or new MyRide card, 3-Hour Passes will automatically convert to Day and Monthly Passes. Taking a trip to a higher fare zone later in the day? You'll only pay the difference! Fare capping also applies to individual tokens, so an account holder using their MyRide barcode will accumulate trips separately than those using cards connected to the same account. This way, everyone benefits!

Why did RTD change its fare payment system?

The change to RTD MyRide is part of RTD’s Fare Modernization Project which began in 2016. The goal was to replace RTD’s card-based system with a cloud-based system to offer a better customer experience and improve data processing and security. The new system is a technological leap forward for customers and the agency, and provides an upgrade path for integrating additional payment options in the future.
