THINGS I NEED NOW:
1. A nice high-res photo of a MetroRide bus in action. Preferably a few photos so I have options.
2. Some graphic representation of existing transitship in central Denver. A dot map that shows riders clustering along Broadway and Colfax would be perfect, but a bar chart showing ridership of bus routes might be an acceptable backup.
3. Thoughts on a title. I don't want to call it the "SSP Transit Plan," since "SSP" is meaningless to most people. I'm thinking instead "People's Transit Plan" but would like to hear other suggestions.
4. A list of contributor names. Unless people hate the idea, somewhere near the front of this report I will include a list of the names of people who have contributed. If you've commented in this thread that means you. I do not want to use forum names because that looks amateur. Should we do this or not? If we should, please respond here or PM your real name, so I can include it.
That's all for now. Probably there will be more later.
HERE'S A FUN PICTURE FOR YOUR TROUBLES:

You need some way to key direction, once you get raw data. The interesting bus ridership traffic map that Wong brought in is OK for starters, but what needs to be done, even on a close in basis, is show direction in those dots.
A minor example: At DUS Light rail, how many people are leaving Lodo and how many are arriving at Lodo at a given time- say 6:00p. Another metric might be related to how many people exit Civic Station and take shuttles and how many walk to work from Civic Station.
I am NOT anywhere near the photographer Ryan is. Why not ask him if he has photos of traffic at the 16th and Stout station (mornings) and California and 16th (4:30-5:30p). Sometimes California and Stout is packed.
