The W and R lines may have been completed on time, I can't remember. However, that would stand to reason as those are both light rail systems which RTD seems to be most comfortable with. The real issues arise from the heavy rail/P3 partnership arrangements for the A, B, G and N lines. Even though the A and B lines may have opened 'on time,' I believe they were operating under conditional waivers from the federal government for years. Had the federal government not issued those waivers, my guess is that the A and B lines would have been delayed as long as the G and N.
But I digress. We all know RTD has issues, hopefully if and when the N line is ever extended to Boulder (maybe in the next century?) they will have these issues ironed out...
