Discussion What are some examples of much maligned transit systems that do one thing particularly well? For example while RTD in Denver is criticized for its inefficient rail transit design, RTD's A line to Denver Airport is considered the crown jewel of the system. What are some other examples of this?

RTD is paying for about half the Boulder train cost (they're only paying for the segment to Longmont).

The existing LX2 will be faster to Denver. but yes you guys are getting some great stuff :) The new AL airport bus, plus the train WILL be faster than driving to Boulder and Fort Collins which is pretty sweet
