BEST SEAT ON THE
16TH STREET MALL SHUTTLE
Single seat, boarding side
Next time you hop on one of RTD’s free mall shuttles, look at the odd seating arrangement: All of the seats are located on one side, and most riders are uncomfortably bunched together, shoulder to shoulder, in an effort to avoid sitting too close to less savory passengers. But look over there, on the passenger-loading side, next to the middle door: There’s one single seat that’s gloriously extra wide. Its expanse guarantees a comfortable ride, and its central location is perfect for keeping an eye and ear on everyone. Fair warning: These thrones are popular with germaphobes, fat-asses and people-watchers alike, and they’re rarely vacant mid-mall. Your best bet for preferred seating is to board at the Union Station end of the line.
