I somewhat agree but him being a youngster has its limits. He doesn’t know ANYTHING before 2000. Let’s not forget the REAL TRANSIT TERRORIZERS RTDM! The reason these guys even have their name and history. RTDM paved the way for these guys since ‘85. So much RTD Bus change their name to MTA bus lines. Man we hated that time! They went from the sick RED AND BLACK buses to the G@y orange and yellow lol.
