[Colorado-talk] Automated Stop Announcements

[Scott C. LaBarre]

Greetings all, I am sure that there will be a number of bugs as the system
is implemented.  Regardless, if you ride a bus that doesn't have the system
going, please call RTD and file a complaint giving the time, Route number,
and bus number.  Also, if the system is not working, the driver has the
obligation to announce the stops and if you get on a bus and stops are not
being announced, go up and request that the driver announce them.

Best to all,
Scott

Dear Dan,  I was on the 40 today.  It wasn't doing the automatic stop 
announcements.  I had to count how many stops it was until it got to my 
stop.
