So in all of my complaining about RTD, I do have to give them props for their new Web site: http://new.rtd-denver.com.
It's sleek. It's more intuitive and navigable. And the new trip planner is really nice with its ability to do a standard RTD trip finder or a Google maps feature that actually shows you the exact route on city streets the trip will take. And the trip planner gives you many more options to describe where you are and where you are going including addresses, intersections and a variety of landmarks. The schedules are also much improved. The old ones seemed to crunch all of the stops together and times did not always correspond to the stop. These new schedules fix that completely and also let you customize the tables so you can search by arrival and destination stops and the time in which your actually leaving instead of trying to search though a table for the ones that are relevant to you.
So at least our taxpayer dollars were going to something worthwhile for a change. The old site was pretty bad with hard to find information and a trip finder that was definitely not intuitive. So good job RTD. Hopefully your rider-first approach with the Web site won't end there.
