July 16, 2023Why does Denver Colorado seem to have all the light rail going south and all the commuter rail going north? (not from the US i don't really know anything about the city)
It makes some sense at first blush: Denver is a lot more dense to the south than to the north (which is also much much newer development). So it seems reasonable that commuter focus would be to the north while more urban transit focus would be to the south. Except that’s not really what happened. The dense parts of the city are bypassed by the light rail for the most part, and it ends up being just as commuter focused as the heavy commuter rail, only a different technology. The truth of it is that the whole thing came about because the light rail went in when the system was focused on a mixed street downtown loop, while the more recent developments happened alongside the revitalized Union Station, with its heavy rail connections and infrastructure. Also trackage to the north is universally used by heavy rail, and it was cheaper to share space in several places, while the southern arms of the system were mostly newly acquired rights of way and all new track.

September 18, 2024 -
I’ve been here for 4 years, and it’s just gotten worse. The other day, I took the 40 to Colorado Station. The driver got there about 20mins late, and I missed my connection. So I was sitting at the station for about 15mins, and the driver walked away to who knows where. Then, another bus caught up. Started honking at the bus I just got off from as in implying “hey, you have to leave” but then the driver realized the bus was just sitting there and got off and started looking around.
Just then, another 40 bus pulled in almost empty. The passengers got off and the driver immediately started driving. Just then, the second bus (also a 40 going East), started driving, almost crashed into the bus in the front, and they both left together. Meanwhile, the driver of the bus I took was still nowhere to be found.
I was tripping, the logistics make no sense and as someone from NYC, NEVER will you see such stupid logistics in NYSDOT and NJTransit. And all across the Denver area, RTD is laughable. Whoever is running this department is wasting taxpayer money paying incompetent people to make decisions regarding how this department is run and people that use it to commute suffer the consequences on a daily.

Even 15 years ago it wasn't uncommon to see the 40 bunch up in groups of two or even three. I suspect it's because they don't have their own lane and get caught up in the usual Colorado Blvd madness. When the 40 would roll up to Alameda people would jump off and sprint across eight lanes of traffic to try to catch the 83L heading west. The schedule should have had them at the 83L stop five minutes before arrival but the 40 could never keep that timetable, and even in the mornings the next 83L was 15 minutes down the road, so it was either dash across the street or be late for work. I was always afraid that someone would get run over, thankfully never saw it happen.
