The F Line was a light rail line operated by the Regional Transportation District in the Denver-Aurora Metropolitan Area in Colorado. It operated from 2006 until 2020, when it was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Route The F Line began in the downtown loop and proceeded south from downtown Denver, along with the D and H Lines. It joined the C and E Lines near the Auraria campus, and the five lines travelled south to I-25 & Broadway. The F Line diverged along with the E and H Lines onto a flyover, and then ran parallel to Interstate 25 for the rest of its route. The line's final southern terminus was at RidgeGate Parkway in Lone Tree, shared with the E and R Lines.

History RTD suspended the F Line due to the COVID-19 pandemic in its September 2020 service change. The line never returned to service and was officially eliminated in RTD's January 2023 service change.

All stations along the F Line were shared with at least two other RTD rail lines. Its elimination helped to de-interline the network. The line's former route is now served by the E and H Lines, with a transfer at I-25 & Broadway.

FasTracks

The 2004 voter-approved FasTracks initiative included the Southeast Corridor extension for the E and F Line, which extended the lines by to southern Lone Tree. The extension cost $223 million to construct and was opened on May 17, 2019. It included three new stations, , , and , the latter with a 2,000-stall parking facility. The F Line only served these stations for around a year before it was suspended from service, and eventually eliminated.
