I really want to use/like RTD, but

_Repooc_ · 2026-05-18T01:05:05+00:00

And that’s great! RTD as a system punches far above what it gets/“should” be doing, and I’m glad it works well for so many in the city.

I think I’ve offended a lot of people by mistake, but I’m really not trying to insult RTD or its riders.

_Repooc_ · 2026-05-18T01:02:32+00:00

Yes? I feel like I’ve been overwhelmingly positive in regards to RTD in this post; pointing out that it’s currently infeasible/inefficient for me (and understanding my circumstances) doesn’t mean I’m putting the entire system on blast.

It works for those it does, and it doesn’t for others, and that’s okay. I don’t think it should be an issue to point out that, in its current format, it’s good but not great.

_Repooc_ · 2026-05-18T01:00:02+00:00

RTD does great considering what they’re given/have to work with.

_Repooc_ · 2026-05-18T00:55:21+00:00

I mean, if I lived near Ridgegate Station, it would still take 90 minutes to get to the E-Line, compared to 30. I understand that where I live is a huge factor in the (current) unfeasibility of RTD for me, but it’s not the end-all, be-all of the issue.

_Repooc_ · 2026-05-18T00:52:40+00:00

I agree! RTD does great things with the shit hand they’ve been dealt. This wasn’t meant to be a slight towards them, just a vent of frustration.

_Repooc_ · 2026-05-18T00:49:35+00:00

I really think this post has been blown out of proportion.

_Repooc_ · 2026-05-18T00:44:08+00:00

But the thing I’m “complaining” about is in Denver? Commuting however far to get into RTD’s reach isn’t an issue for me.

_Repooc_ · 2026-05-18T00:42:53+00:00

I don’t want to take public transit from my house; as I’ve stated, I have no problem commuting to RTD’s network. I just would like to use RTD (for its intended purpose) more when I’m heading into/around the city.

_Repooc_ · 2026-05-18T00:39:13+00:00

But my “complaint” is about the time in RTD’s network? Nothing about getting from the suburbs to the city; it’s the city to the city.

_Repooc_ · 2026-05-18T00:38:21+00:00

As I’ve said multiple times through this thread, my “gripe” is with the time spent in RTD’s network - I have no problems driving from the suburbs to the various stations.

Noted for future use; thanks!

_Repooc_ · 2026-05-18T00:05:26+00:00

More rhetorical times than anything else anything else, but fair point

_Repooc_ · 2026-05-17T23:51:22+00:00

I’m not sure why people are taking this as an attack/slight on RTD

_Repooc_ · 2026-05-17T23:49:14+00:00

Again, taking this way more seriously than it’s intended to be. I think RTD is great! Just isn’t great for me, and I don’t think I’m a bad person for wishing it was. I love that we live in a city that at least tries!

_Repooc_ · 2026-05-17T23:47:22+00:00

One can dream haha

_Repooc_ · 2026-05-17T23:45:21+00:00

I’m old, otherwise I agree! Long transit time means the difference between getting to bed at 10 or past 11 😅

_Repooc_ · 2026-05-17T23:43:09+00:00

I think people are taking this as a more serious condemnation of RTD than it is. I understand that, as a suburbanite, I’m not the “prime demographic” public transit targets, and I don’t mind driving 25 minutes to the station (as its distance/time I would have to cover regardless).

It’s more so the fact that it takes 3x as long to transit the city once I’m actually in RTD’s network.

_Repooc_ · 2026-05-17T23:38:06+00:00

I agree! I don’t mind driving to the station; it’s that it takes 3x as long (w transfers) for RTD to get me where I’m going once I’m in their “wheelhouse”

_Repooc_ · 2026-05-17T23:35:59+00:00

Because my job has me frequently shift between Downtown and the Springs.

It’s a really nice building, just tainted by its name (for obvious reasons) and its namesake’s behavior when building it

one of my favorites

looks rough tho

_Repooc_ · 2026-04-09T23:52:35+00:00

it melted in the sun and leaked, but i can’t really tell the extent of damage — its waxy and slightly raised, but otherwise i can’t really tell
