After the lessons of rail, the Denver region might just be ready to move into a bus-centric transit future that better addresses climate change, air quality, and inequity. But there's one unfulfilled promise standing in the way: the Boulder train. Is... more

- Long time Coloradan who finally understands
A great listen if you’ve truly always wondered why this train has not happened yet. Like many Denverites, I commute to Boulder, and feel forced to drive. I hate it! RTD needs to at the very least bring back express bus. I learned so much from this reporting and do understand the complexity so much better now. But my trust in RTD remains LOW.

I’m not from Colorado and have never been there (didn’t even know they had rails there!) but this show popped up as a recommendation after finishing Parched from CPR and I loved it! The mini-series was the perfect length for me to listen on my commute (via rail) over the last couple days and I’m eager to keep up with the news on this rail system.

Heard about this via a post on Boulder Reddit. Does a great job of explaining how we got to having light rail in the Denver Metro area and why Boulder lost out to a promise from RTD of a train from Denver.
Apple Podcasts5NoisyTrumpetUnited States7 months ago - Good overall coverage of the FastTracks story
Overall this was a well done series that explores the genesis of FastTracks and some of the transit issues in the Denver/Boulder area. My one issue with this is that it makes it seem like the street car demise was some kind of inevitable nameless change, the reality though is that GM formed a conspiracy to destroy streetcar systems around the county to replace them with busses. Somewhat typical NPR glossing over sticky points like that, but otherwise good. more

I lived in Denver for two years during covid, originally from Melbourne, Australia and had already been interested in the public transport system in Denver. The podcast is really well produced and tells an engaging story!
