I started using public transit in Denver for about 3-4 years then got infected by bedbugs 3 times from it. Stopped using it and I've been fine since. I'm willing to pay pretty much anything to avoid public transit especially now there's something worse than bedbugs going around.

That is wild. I have never got anything and I have used it all my life. Is Denver's system that unclean?

I live in Denver. I've ridden the bus to work off and on for the last 15 years. I've never heard of anyone getting bedbugs from RTD buses. A few sanitary issues, yes, but not bedbugs, and not systematic issues. The service has mostly gotten better the entire time. Buses are relatively up-to-date, and within the last 3 years, RTD put in real time GPS bus tracking. Very helpful

Denver's system is actually quite good, except for their staffing issues.

I think this is an extreme anecdote which I find hard to believe the RTD at fault for.

I would take covid and the associated possibility of death over bed bugs.
