[Colorado-Talk] What Do You Think?

[Dan Burke]

I empathize with the fiscal concerns, but this is the wrong question.
Regular service leads to higher ridership. The director who said that
nobody complained when service was reduced in the southwest park area
doesn't remember the NFB of Colorado's concerns when service was
reduced in that part of Littleton.

So, while increasing ridership in the central metro area might be one
part of a long-range plan, it shouldn't come at the cost of service to
outer areas where people have very limited choices.
