[Colorado-talk] {Disarmed} Fwd: RTD Route 0 Rider Alert

Thank  you for passing this on. This is one of those situations where
I rely on GPS to as a fall-back, since some drivers were terrible at
announcing stops prior to the automated ones being installed. I also
found some of the PA systems on the bus very difficult to understand,
another reason I'm greatful for GPS, and the ability to track
approximate addresses.
The worst situation is when you're in a city where transit is
primarily underground, you cannot understand the announcements by the
drivers, and the automated system is broken. At least in Denver things
are above ground.
