A Heartwarming Sendoff for Denver's Market Street Station—In Graffiti
A major Denver bus terminal closes after 30 years of service, but not without riders taking note.
On Friday, Denver residents got to greet the Union Station Transit Center, the city’s gleaming new $500 million transit hub. U.S. Senators Mark Udall and Michael Bennet, Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper, and Denver Mayor Michael Hancock were among the dignitaries on hand for the ribbon-cutting. But for all Union Station’s importance to the region, and even to the nation, a more interesting scene may have been taking shape on Saturday night at Market Street Station, one of Denver’s chief transit terminals for the last 30 years.
There, commuters taking the last buses in and out of Market Street Station said their goodbyes—with graffiti.
