RTD in Weld County
I live in Dacono and catch the RTD bus at Wagon Road Park & Ride on 120th. Why do the people who run RTD presume to know where I shop? I shop in downtown Denver on my lunch hour and in Thornton or Westminster on my way home at night…..not in Weld County! This includes my grocery shopping and other shopping like at Lowe’s, Home Depot, K-Mart or any large store. If I need to go to K-Mart, Kohls’s, any similair type store or mall on the weekend, I go to Longmont or Thornton…..why would I drive 45 minutes to Greeley (the closest place in Weld County for any of these stores) when I can be in Longmont or Thornton in 20 minutes? The only shopping I do in Weld County is at the Family Dollar in Dacono and an occasional stop at the Safeway in Firestone. 99% of my purchases are made in cities that charge RTD sales tax and now RTD wants to bilk me out of $4.00 a day on top of the sales tax simply because of where I live! I am sure there are plenty of other RTD riders who live in my area who do the same thing. RTD is being very unfair to it’s ridership with this plan.

RTD needs to bring back Ben Mew and give him an ice scrapper.
