RTD will let Denver-area youth ride free all year — to school, to work, anywhere

This is awesome. When I was in highschool, we were given transit passes instead of having a yellow bus service.

Not only did it eliminate the need for a yellow bus fleet/network; we as students got a whole bunch of mobility and agency out of the deal. Most the students I knew when to sports, events, and meet-ups by public transit. I had a solid mental map of damn near every bus route in my city!

Edit: I also didn't even get a driver's licence until 20-something, all my suburbia friends were driving around stuck in traffic from from the age of 17.
