*raises hand*  =)

Granted that doesn't make a whole lot of sense for most people, but it
doesn't matter where you put your hubs in the case of light rail as long
as you can actually get from one point of interest to the other.  For
example, 30th and Downing to DTC works out just fine even if the transfer
point were Mineral Station, as long as you're talking light rail the
entire trip.  It's still faster than any bus, and at the right time of
day, way faster than driving.

Of course, the transfer point being in zone C would be absolutely
ridiculous in terms of forcing people to pay for an Express pass, but the
RTD zone system already is designed to force a certain class of people to
pay for the express pass for no other reason than that if they live in
Littleton, probably they can afford it.
