DENVER — Slow trains and reduced service have been plaguing Denver metro area's light rail riders for weeks, and now the Regional Transportation District is facing more pressure for transparency from other organizations, too.

In the letter, Greater Denver Transit asks RTD to publish operator schedules, provide more alternative transportation, and give a clearer schedule of ongoing work as well as inform riders when it's supposed to end. "The service has gotten to a point where it's unusable," said Richard Bamber, one of the co-founder's for Greater Denver Transit.

Riders and Greater Transit Denver aren't the only ones asking the transit agency for more information. On Monday, Colorado's Public Utilities Commission said in a meeting that it was requesting all rail inspection reports from the Southeast line dating back to January 2024.
