I wish the bus was a better option. I really don't mean to sound spiteful when I vote against bus related measures. I grew up riding the bus though, and I learned several of the flaws. If one bus doesn't get you from point A to final destination, it's a huge waste of time. After all that, you're kind of stranded waiting for another bus because you don't have your car. I'd use it if I worked in Denver, but I'd get real tired of the commute and be looking hard for a place in the springs. It would work for shuttling people to the airport, but I can often get better deals by flying out of the springs. Then I can just get dropped off by friend or family at the springs airport.

All in all, the bus is most viable in cities with concentrated (very high population/square mile) low income housing in the downtown area. The springs doesn't have that, and the lack of it was one of the things that attracted me to the city.

Default FREX (Front Range Express)

Sure miss FREX! Are there any plans to bring the service back? Our city lights are back. Seems safer out there now. Happy New Year!
