Funny thing is, I hate the name MetroRide for the circulator. In fact, I actually prefer, Downtown Circulator! It at least describes the service.

I do really like the livery though! Like those colors a lot.
It's not a circulator at all.. it's an overflow gimmick. It benefits not one single downtown resident at all. It's a suburban service brought downtown so that commuters can still get everywhere as close to RIGHT NOW as they think they are entitled to (and also without having to stand next to darker, less english speaky, less workery people who ride the 16th street shuttle). If you live downtown and want to get somewhere the other 18 hours of the day you're SOL. It's no more a circulator than CPR is a heart.

If you want to brand it as what it actually is call it RTDCommuterBribe
