G Line operations will be restricted to only a few test trains during the initial phase, which will run from Monday through Friday.

The frequency and the number of trains will be gradually increased as testing progresses toward the fully published G Line schedule.

RTD general manager and CEO Dave Genova said: “Authorisation to perform testing on the G Line is evidence of the dedication RTD and DTP have in working with the regulatory agencies to ensure a safe system for our riders.
