The RTD!

Okay, I have issues with the RTD bus system here in Denver, as anyone who rides these things do.
Why is it that I cannot wake up on Sunday morning and simply go to the hardware store, make my purchases and return home satisfied?...three letters sum it up...RTD!
I have to get out, take a bus which will take me to yet another bus, where I must wait, every single time, for at least an hour to get me within a 15 minute walk to a store!
So, a trip that SHOULD take an hour, or so, winds up taking over 3 hours!
Is this the best we can do? I heard Hickenlooper say "denver isn't a hick town anymore" a few years back...HA! Any city that allows it's public transportation system to close up shop at night may has well roll up the sidewalks and call us hillbilly central!
Why is it that I, in 1988, could stumble out of any place in Denver at 2am on a Wednesday and I could catch a bus and get home?
 But now if it's after 12am I'm screwed!
In 1988 Denver has about 500,000 people living here...now we have almost 3 million! Understand what I'm saying? Can we please fire these incompetents and reestablish a bus system consistent with the century we are living in?!
And here's another idea...any driver who decides he/she just doesn't feel like waiting at that stop until the proper time and just leaves the stop early....FIRE THEM!
We have to rely upon these morons to keep our jobs so if you make me lose mine that why shouldn't you have to join me for a little unemployment? I understand being late, but I do not stand for leaving early! If the printed, paper, schedule says 11:42am than by god you best not be gone already at 11:37am! Just saying!
