So it's basically a shuttle train between two stations? I know the plan is to eventually extend it further, but you have to wonder whether such a limited route is sustainable over the short term. [And yes, I'm sure some people will connect to other mass transit routes at Union Station, but still...]
 
It also skips two stations that will be served by the G Line when it starts up later this year (operating between Denver and Wheat Ridge).
 
The article says the average daily ridership will be 800. I count 23 trains daily in each direction, so 46 total. 800 divided by 46 gives an average of 17 people per train. That is hardly what I would call a smashing success.

It's kind of a forced phase 1 for a train to Boulder that is too expensive to build right now. It will be the stepchild line for a while.
