| Here is a letter that Robert Brewster, a fellow member of the Colorado Rail Passenger Association sent to the Denver Post a few months ago. (It was not published.)
Downtown Denver will likely lose its intercity bus station because the site is more suitable for other uses. There is merit in that argument because the concrete edifice is becoming dwarfed by other buildings and it does look out of place. AND it is not close to other transportation systems. But further isolating intercity bus services at a single light rail station is not the solution. |

| Regional voters were promised a transportation hub at Denver Union Station (DUS) as a focal point for RTD's FasTracks corridors and other intercity transportation services, both rail and bus, for the traveling public's convenience.
The public is not getting what it was promised in the way of an all-inclusive, optimal transit hub. Other regional and intercity bus routes, in addition to Greyhound and its brethren, are sure to come, traversing our jammed I-25 and I-70. These services should be calling at DUS, as envisioned, where passengers can transfer to ALL other transit services.
Our planners have failed us. There was more interest in real estate development than providing a blueprint for our future mobility choices. |
