Let Loopr Take You On A Magical Mystery Tour Of Denver

Loopr, the luxury, 420-friendly transportation service that made its first run around downtown Denver last week, is a party bus unlike any other.

Only soft drinks and snacks in the fridges line the limo seating of the 45' Freightliner luxury coach: booze is "discouraged," according to CEO Brian Spatz. That said, Loopr passengers are free - and of course encouraged - to smoke marijuana.

It works like this: download the app, buy a pass, and Loopr zips around a 45 to 60 minute-long circuit of partnering Denver restaurants, dispensaries, and night spots. You can either treat it like a pub crawl, or simply chill with 44 of your friends on the bus, enjoying the tunes, wall of video monitors, disco light show, and smoking gear.

If you really want a beer, just hop out, get your drink on, and hop back on. The app allowed you to geo-track the precise location of the bus, and catch up with your ride easily.

"The main thing that makes Loopr unique is this ability to "geolocate the vehicle in real time and display the routes," says Spatz. "When you go to the app, it shows you a map of Denver, the route, and you can buy your pass on the app, as well as food ...
