The plan dedicates a lane to 24-hour service on the Bus Rapid Transit. The rapid bus route would carry 50,000 people per day, compared to the 22,000 people currently riding RTD buses along Colfax, according to Denver Public Works.

The plan promises better travel times for a 10-mile stretch of Colfax between Broadway and Yosemite with one existing travel lane in each direction for the length of that route.

The proposal also includes plans for kiosks similar to the light rail stations, so passengers can pay their fare at their stop.
