For me listening to a good talk radio program as I drive is quite
enjoyable, even more so now that I don't work downtown. My transit
experiences are datedby 20 years, and at that time most days I
couldn't do a damn thing but hang onto a strap. On snow days, the 2
1/2 hour commute (normally 50 minutes and about 1/12 hours by car on a
snow day) was especially NOT fun.

The only thing I can say about public transit in Denver, if you're
lucky to live and work in the right areas, use it and enjoy it.
Doesn't work for me.
