I take RTD to Denver all the time, and it's great almost all the time. It was packed and overloaded yesterday, but I was able to get on a bus at Broadway & Euclid around 3:15 and make it down with enough time to tailgate some. A few buses did go by first that were full. Trying to get on at Table Mesa was the big mistake, I was coming from work, but otherwise I always get on at the transit center downtown and have no issues. It was packed after the game last night too, especially with the Rockies game, but I just went up to Kitchen Next door and had a couple beers and took a later bus.
That's what I said too. Get on downtown and there is no issue. Maybe nik graduated from CSU...
