The countdown to RTD's train to Longmont is down to 6,314 days

[@rrt08]

There should have been a train from Cheyenne covering the entire front range with service to DIA years ago.

great reporting as usual and nice jacket btw

[@zTribalstylerz]

Haha yeah good plan .... We can't get this smaller project done so just sign us up for the much bigger project! We will surely be able to complete a larger and more complicated project!

[@BettyofOOO]

Great story! Thanks for the heads up.

The problem is the freight rail they aren't paying ball

[@SinkrSwim]

What is the ETA on front range rail? 2080?

[@who2u333]

Yea, keep moving the goal posts so that the plebs never notice that it was always just a boondoggle (and I want the rail).

[@Egganopolis82]

RTD needs to be fired...

[@dsockrider]

We'll have flying cars by the time that's done.

This whole boondoggle drives me nuts. This bill of goods was sold to us because T-REX went so well and under budget that they were wanting to repeat this success going to Boulder/Longmont. When they figured out they couldn't do it because no one bothered to ask the rail companies about the existing lines and how much it would cost, they WAGed the cost estimates for the ballot. When they found out what it was going to cost they said "oh hey - since we can't do that we'll do it as a bus service" - which already existed.

All they do is study after study after study with no actual action.

We buy the transcontinental line in a fraction of the time a 170 years ago. 21st century has some real genius people at the helm. Glad Polis is looking into this 😂. Vote dumb, get dumb.

[@rvboyett]

What a friggin' joke.

[@NunYa953]

So it was a scam from the beginning.

I'm not familiar with the backstory here

@@LUKEc16v31 thank you. Very kind

[@Deadman_Mikey]

RTD is a fucking joke. Sure, hope their board of directors enjoy the raises they keep giving themselves with our tax dollars, but we, the public, can't get halfway decent service.

😂😂😂😂😂 rtd and this state are a joke

It's the government so it must be good!
