BOULDER, Colo. — The Regional Transportation District is investigating after wild video appears to show a man hitching a ride on the back of one of the agency’s buses on US 36 in Boulder.
The Reddit user who shared the video with Denver7 said they recorded it around 6 a.m. Tuesday. It appears to show a man in a medical mask, carrying a blue sack, clinging to the rear exterior of an RTD bus.
Denver7 confirmed that RTD is investigating the stunt in the video, which a spokesperson called “extremely unsafe.”
