It's worth noting that we don't quite have the transit system that the original 2004 $4.7B FasTracks design envisioned for 2017. The schedule has considerably slipped, with some lines pushed out to the 2040's. The BRT to Boulder is probably an improvement over the former bus route, but isn't considered to be true BRT (except by RTD, the transit agency) due to sharing priority lanes with cars. The G line train has technically been finished for the past year, but crossing gate problems keep stalling its launch. (Either software problems, or intractable requirements from various parties, depending on who you ask.) I'm looking out my window right now at one of the many G-line crossings where the contractor staffs two people around the clock to make sure traffic stops. :/
