The
Proposed Route

The proposed route
will connect DIA, Denver metro, foothill communities, mountain resorts,
and the Eagle County Airport. The guideway will stay within the highway
right-of-way wherever practicable. Stations will be off-line, located
where the community chooses them to be.
The
Service
Out of state visitors will be able to book a ticket
from their origination to their destination, London to Vail, for
instance, with a change of "flights" at DIA, the last
"flight" being the monorail. Visitors would collect their
baggage in Vail, and on their return will check in at Vail and check
their bags all the way back to London. The cost of a ticket from
DIA to Vail will be competitive with a bus or shuttle. The express
trip will take little more than an hour.
Front range
residents will be able to ride from the Denver metro area to Keystone
in less than an hour, stopping at several stations. Shops and restaurants
will be encouraged to offer a discount to anyone who has a monorail
ticket.
Multiple levels
of service will be available, with an affordable economy service
for front range families and frequent users.
Riders will
be able to rent a car at their destination, and it is anticipated
that shuttles will deliver passengers to their final destinations
on demand.
Express package
delivery service is being researched by existing express service
providers.
