Map presence
Union Station Bus Concourse map and directions

Why this stays fast
DCC keeps the map layer fast by rendering a static preview instead of shipping a heavy interactive map bundle on first load.
Travelers still get immediate location clarity, one-click directions, and map-provider choice only when intent is real.

How to use this station page
Best used when a traveler is arriving on a regional bus or using the bus concourse as the last organized transit anchor before a hotel or venue transfer.
Station pages help when the trip starts with a rail or bus arrival and the real next question is where to route the traveler: downtown, port, hotel, or venue corridor.

Common station questions
Should DCC treat the Union Station bus side differently from Amtrak arrivals?
Yes. Bus arrivals often behave more like an urban transfer problem than a long-distance rail arrival, so the next step is usually hotel or venue routing rather than arrival recovery.
What is the main DCC use for this bus-station page?
Use it to push travelers into the right downtown or Red Rocks planning page after the transit arrival is understood.
Is the bus concourse useful for Red Rocks nights?
Yes, especially when the traveler is still deciding whether to keep using transit logic or move into a dedicated concert-transport plan.
