text: For those people who either have to or choose to rely on RTD as their primary means of getting around the region, there will never, ever be "enough" service. In a "perfect" world, a bus would pass a bus stop every 5 minutes, and another bus would be waiting at every connection point. Bus stops would be within a block or two of every resident and every business. Should we strive for better? Absolutely! But the only ways to have "perfect" are a) increase RTD's funding by tenfold (or more), b) have RTD invest in and subsidize small, autonomous vehicles, or c) do like most people, and buy or lease your own vehicle. Bottom line, and pardon the pun, there truly is no free ride. Transportation costs money. The ONLY question is how much and in what form should taxpayers subsidize any system or individual? Highways, streets, buses, rail lines & bike lanes are all subsidized by taxes, and the only choices are how much (more?) in taxes should be dedicated to moving people, and in what form(s)?
