I used to ride RTD Nederland bus for years and the mountain drivers are the BEST! Cons: Lots of highway-speed shake on right side by handicap seating. Maybe the second duel tire was low? Tips: This bus all the way to Gunnison from Denver's Union Station is an amazing route! SO grateful you have this, Bustang since I am recovering from a Class3 concussion and cannot drive long distances yet!More
