Nice for the people south of Denver. Us up north got screwed. Our traffic is the first to back up every morning and last to clear. There is usually a backup at 7:00pm on the north side.

Thats the truth! there are 3 lines south of colfax ave. this 1. on I-225, 2. the line on I-25 and 3. santa fe to mineral line all 3 of these lines lead to Douglas county also the county who refused to join the rtd taxing district forever and the folks up north got squat what is wrong with this picture

Why did it stall out on the bridge at the end of the video?

[SkipW]

they stopped to point out some details that i edited out because you couldnt see them from where i was at

[SkipW]

that was saturday morning, at the rush hours the cars are bumper to bumper stop@go like 5mph and you could walk faster!

[redsnowman34]

the light rail was a great thing to do, although our rush our is still hell. it goes up to 55-60 mph like christman84 said, and it would be real cool if it did go to DIA.

did the train start at nine mile

Denver uses the tracks to kill pit bulls

The Denver trasit system closed their last streetcar lines in 1950 and that was really stupid. I too am glad to see Denver expand light rail. The furthest north the line goes is the 30th and Downing transit station. And yes, it needs to go further north. Plus the line needs to serve areas along I-70. Siemens really makes some good products.

thats nine mile station

Other than conservation, if the cars can out run the train whats the point? We Americans need speed: like yesterday. San Antonio is supposed to get a mass transit rail system, but it most likely going to be too slow for it's purpose.

I dunno man, it might not go anywhere you need to go, but try any other light rail system. You'll see then that Denver's RTD ain't that bad. For example, it is TEN times better than my own city's f**king VTA light rail.

[MrKevin1a]

We need high speed rail. Most American's shun the inconveniece of having to walk from the station to your destination, but if it was so fast that the trip and your walk still got you there faster than speeding down I25 or one of the other major roads in Denver then people would likely be more inclined to ride it. Denver does have one of the best transit systems in the nation.
