For whatever reason.. I don't ride buses. They seem so.. temporary... and complex. You have to know where they're going and where they will stop... its honestly to big of a pain.

The nice thing about streetcars, for me, is that they are rather predictable. You know where they're going, where they'll stop. Their just less complicated all around. More like rail than a bus. It may be 100% in my head, but its true. When I'm in another city I ride streetcars, but I've yet to ride a single bus (that wasn't the mall shuttle, which is very much like a streetcar) since I've lived in Denver.

At the end of the day the lack of dedicated, predictable close-in transit is a huge problem for Denver. I would love to see dedicated transit to get people out of the ballpark, uptown, and the golden triangle. Its really key to creating affordable urban living in the city.
