These cuts were proposed last fall as RTD's last-ditch effort to give its overworked operators a break. It's short about 100 bus drivers and 60 light rail operators and the remaining crew has been working forced overtime to keep service levels up.
Six bus lines would be cut entirely, with reductions on 19 other bus routes and three light rail lines. Special buses for sporting and community events would be suspended too.
The RTD board will likely vote on the plan in March. If approved, it would go into effect in May.
