I frequently like to take the bus up to the corner of Colfax and Josephine here in Denver, near the Tattered Cover Bookstore, where I used to work as the bookkeeper, walk from there downtown, and take the light rail train home. It is definitely a cheapskate's dream, what with a $1.50, three hour pass for seniors. For a while, during the worst of the Covid-19 pandemic, I was often the only passenger. People were no doubt put off by being told by the CDC that taking public transportation was a death trip. However, these days, it seems like things are back to normal. This past Friday, the bus was actually almost full, and the light rail train is often packed at rush hour, and after Colorado Rockies games. People are still required to wear masks when taking RTD, which is a good thing, considering the pandemic is still with us, but it does feel good getting back to normal.
