I wrote my state legislators about plans to privatize more bus routes

I hear that there are plans to further privatize bus and train service in the Denver Metro area. Bus riders in Boulder County have endured ten years of cuts to service. In 2018 and 2019, RTD could not keep buses running as the drivers quit the private services.

This has made life difficult for low income people, and led to dangerous increases in greenhouse gases.

Don't Democrats have a majority in the Colorado Legislature? Should we not be strengthening our transit systems throughout the state instead of weakening them?
