DENVER — The arctic chill and lingering snow are causing some delays and closures in the Denver area.
The train to the airport, the A-Line, is operating on 30-minute frequencies due to a lack of additional crew member availability, the Regional Transportation District announced Tuesday.
RTD said federal law requires a second crew member on all commuter rail trips.
The snow and cold are also affecting other bus and rail lines, causing delays on some routes, RTD said.
The Denver Zoo is closed Tuesday because of the low temperatures. Zoo officials said the majority of the zoo’s animals are in their indoor habitats for their safety and comfort.
