Re: Our transit system is still worthless and useless

A transit system sufficiently "well-oiled" to get you from almost anywhere to almost anywhere else is simply too much for anybody to expect -- especially in a region like ours with an average population density of around 2,000 per square mile.  If you had a great transit commute in Denver...

Re: Our transit system is still worthless and useless

It isn't Windows based -- it is just IE centric and won't even give another browser a chance.
