Opinion: RTD’s lower fares, Front Range rail and hope in 2024 for fewer cars

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:06:01 GMT

I don’t own a car. I wish I could coast on that truth as my credentials for discussing my commitment to a car-free lifestyle, but the truth is I do often drive — borrowing a car from a small network of friends and family and neighbors who are immensely generous — because I often need to drive. Even that isn’t the complete truth. Sometimes it isn’t need. Sometimes it is, quite frankly, laziness — when there’s too much snow to bike, or it’s too cold or too hot to walk comfortably. The point is, I drive more than I want to. But I wish I didn’t have to drive at all. I wish it was so easy to walk or bike or bus that driving was the inconvenient choice — like it was when I had the privilege of living abroad in public transit-rich and walkable cities in Spain and China. But, if you live here, in Colorado, in the West, in America, odds are your daily life is shaped around the convenience of driving.This reality, though, is proving ruinous. Not only are cars — even electric cars — ruinous fo...

New Year Listings:Charlatans UK / RideThe WilternThe glory days of Britpop come crashing back thanks to the Madchester sounds of the Charlatans (UK, or whatever) and the glorious Oxford drone of Ride. That’s the best double bill since the Manic Street Preachers went out on tour with Suede. This is the second leg off this tour, after the same bands were at the same venue last February. “Ride and the Charlatans are two very different bands, joined together through a special era for UK indie rather than sonics,” we said in our review. “But the show also worked because both bands were blurring genre lines from the very beginning.”7 p.m. on Friday, January 5 at the Wiltern, $35+, livenation.com.The EaglesKia ForumThis is, we’re being told, the Eagles’ final tour. Following the death of Glenn Frey, the band has battled valiantly on, but they seem to be about done and that’s probably appropriate.

Musk’s actions included making light of sexual harassment allegations against him, which the billionaire denied.“As our CEO and most prominent spokesperson, Elon is seen as the face of SpaceX — every tweet that Elon sends is a de facto public state...
