It's amazing how pervasive those subsidies are. For example, RTD is heavily subsidized by taxpayers in the areas it serves, yet is admittedly Denver centric. The focus is on Denver or going through Denver. Metro area taxpayers subsidize that transportation system disproportionately.

The people living in rural areas have their right to complain. One, the state is responsible for the entire state, not just certain areas. Two, people have a right to express their opinions. People whining about that should get over it.
