I have decided to do something weird on this blog. On my last post, you will have seen an odd tag (rtd16). I plan to start tagging my posts that mention something that happens on the bus with the transit authority’s name (in this case, RTD) and the bus number (in this case, 16). This may be seen as a form of geolocation. It may even be seen as an interesting way to keep tabs on what buses I use, I don’t know. I just thought it would be interesting to do. So, keep reading the blog and I hope you enjoy what I write!

Tired of waiting forever to get directions on riding RTD? Tired of the constant issues with RTD’s website? Well, I have found out that RTD is now providing it’s service maps and data to Google in their Google Transit programme. In fact, they symbolically started on Earth Day. I believe this is a vast improvement because I will be able to use the powerful search features of Google (which I favour a lot more than RTD’s own website) to plan my transit trips. However, Google Transit is showing a bad habit to push Express and Regional transfers for trips that can be taken on local buses. I will write an e-mail to Google’s development team in order to address this issue. This is a big thing because the word is that RTD is quite slow to adapt to techology. Once, I was talking to Gerri Castro at RTD, about the EcoPass programme and she made a statement about RTD’s inability to adapt to new technology that made it seem quite apt.
