RTD could speed up the W Line by using alternating stops, but they refuse to do anything like that. A lot of RTD patrons told them from the start that trains that take 40 minutes to go 13 miles were not going to attract riders, but RTD did what it always does: completely ignored that advice and then when it turned out to be correct, acted surprised and proposed service cuts. But hey, at least every developer who wanted a stop on the W Line got one, and that's what's really important.
