Route 10, ‘East 12th Avenue’, runs from to Denver Union Station to Colfax & Billings.

The route used to start at Fedral – Decatur Station was cut back to Union Station at the start of the pandemic. Because of this, the route calls at Union Station twice as it uses Wewatta Street to access its original route on 15th Street.

Every other trip was extended to Colfax & Billings in May 2023.
