For what it's worth, most tech employers in the Denver area offer the "Ecopass" as an employer-paid employee benefit, which makes the buses, light rail, and call-n-ride free for the employee.
Without any discounts, the cost for the call-n-ride is $2.60 to the rider, which is a good deal for a door-to-door service, I think. I am not sure where the article got the $21-- maybe the city is subsidizing most of the cost.
- teuobk 10y agoThere's an elderly lady at the end of my block (in Denver-proper) who uses the dial-a-ride service nearly daily. The only other times I can recall seeing the service used also involved elderly or disabled people. In fact, it took me years before I realized the service was even available to normally-abled, non-elderly people -- but I still don't use it, because my car, Uber, or a walk to the nearby light rail station are all far more convenient.
