transit alliance: Transit Alliance Citizens Academy Update - Trying out the Bus - 03/01/09 06:51 PM
I blogged this past week about how excited I was to have been chosen to be a part of the 2009 Transit Alliance Citizens Academy and the opportunity to really become an advocate for rapid transit and expanded light rail.  Then a couple of days ago, it hit me like a brick....it had been years since I actually rode an RTD bus anywhere and I hadn't been on the light rail here in Denver.
