Union Station just isn't good for the main core of downtown on the Champa to Civic Center of side of the city.
And now no D-Line on the weekends? So no D-Line to see the parade of lights, events at skyline park, political rallies at Civic Center, conventions at the Denver Convention Center, going out to eat and shop at Larimar square, shopping at Denver Pavilions, or strolling the 16th Street Mall on the part of the mall worth strolling on. Heck, I even take the D-Line to Rockies games, because I enjoy the stroll from 18th & California to Coors Field.
I basically ONLY use the D-Line and no other rail line in Denver. I never use the C-Line, unless I end up near Union Station while I'm downtown and then I'll use the C-Line to get home. Both the C-Line and D-Line need to be once every 10 minutes, so you'll have one or the other, every 5 minutes.
