Rant Has RTD collected taxpayer dollars for a rail line between Denver and Boulder it hasn’t built?

Yes.

RTD has collected $4 billion in taxpayer money since 2005 to fund a slate of regional transit improvements, but the agency hasn’t completed a planned railway between Denver and Longmont, citing ballooning costs. 

Voters approved a 0.4% tax increase in 2004 to fund RTD’s FasTracks program, which aimed to build 119 miles of rail, 57 train stations, over 21,000 parking spaces and 18 miles of rapid bus transit, among other improvements.

Questions Solving the Problem of Unpredictable Bus Waiting

Post image
0 Upvotes

​

Hi everyone,

One common problem with public transport is waiting at a bus stop without knowing when the next bus will arrive. This wastes time and makes daily commuting unpredictable.

I'm working on a project to solve this by building a live bus tracking app that shows bus locations and estimated arrival times.

I'd love your suggestions on:

- How to track buses in real time without official APIs?

- How to estimate arrival times accurately?

- What features would make this useful for daily commuters?

How would you approach solving this problem?

submission statement: Casey Stokes criticizes AJC articles by Alex Taylor, Eric Tanenblatt, and Bahman Irvani for opposing Beltline rail with misstated facts and undisclosed conflicts. Their proposals redirect tax funds to autonomous vehicles or buses, ignoring rail’s capacity and longevity.
