You're in for a pleasant change with regards to train cleanliness.

Yes, they've always been clean when I've ridden. And I would imagine that if you're commuting to the DTC or Lone Tree for work, you'll be surrounded mostly by office worker people. When they open the Aurora line, I'll be able to take the train to work on days I don't drop my kids off, so I'll see.

Fair point, I guess I don't know for sure. I equate homelessness to someone who smells, is visibly dirty and has numerous packs of stuff on the benches around them. I guess there's a possibility they're not homeless.

Granted, homeless people come from all walks of life. But let's be real, you know exactly what a typical homeless person looks/smells like. You're lying to yourself if you say otherwise

In Denver... it's safe to say that they're more than likely homeless.

Oddly enough I was riding the Mineral line the other night and some drunk/homeless guy was sleeping on the train and the fare inspector made him get off the train so they could chat. After asking the homeless guy for ID, the drunk dude retorted "Can ahh see YOUR AH.D.?!?" Then he laughed loudly and the fare inspector was a good sport and showed him his ID. I do feel bad for people that are down on their luck like that, but they need to sober up and pull their lives together.

Mineral is a light rail station in Littleton serviced by the C and D lines. It was probably in reference to one of those two.
