By DAREL MADRID
Long time Park & Ride and ACT rider
 
With regard to Mr. Mark Paris’s previous letter posted on Feb. 6, I wholeheartedly agree with his kind observation. 
 
The new schedule is a serious problem. If the change was intended to improve service and convenience, then I would say it failed on both counts.
 
The old schedule which took years to refine worked quite well for locals, Park & Ride, LANL taxi and RTD commuters alike. You could always count on getting to your destination within a reasonable time frame.

Los Alamos
 
Many years ago, when I was working in a diversity office, my manager excitedly asked me if I had read this wonderful little book “Who Moved My Cheese?
 
I was, and still am in general, very dubious about these popular trendy “how-to” books that pop up on the mass market. They can offer a few gems and some wisdom, but like motivational speeches, readers and listeners may feel “good” about certain messages … for a little while. But passage of time would dilute the enthusiasm, unless there is follow-up with actions. 
 
Nevertheless, I felt obligated
