Our bus company has to do something
Advertisements [?]
about their handicapped accommodations.. every bus can hold two wheelchairs. When I went downtown this week there was a couple in powerchairs that took up both spaces. We made a stop and someone else in a powerchair wanted to board and the drive had to decline him. The look on his face still makes me pissed off. RTD needs to reconfigure their bus' to handle at least 4 disabled people, the buses are packed today because of the gas prices. But do you think RTD will spend the money to re-configure their buses? Nope!

We also have a problem with the bike rack on the bus. Each bus can only have two bikes at a time, and like I mentioned earlier, with the price of gas, more and more people ride their bikes.They should set it up for four bikes, two in the front, two in the back.

If I spent a half hour waiting for a bus and then was told I couldn't board, I would be really pissed off!

I know this might sound nitpicky, but our bus system makes a lot of money off the riders and we also have the best bus system in the country. They should configure their buses..they can afford it..
