…and then there's these guys…

The large station that is the transfer point for me from my neighborhood bus and the light rail is RTD's Federal Center Station. It's basically a big loop around the associated parking-area, with a train-platform along one edge:


The entire area along that side (by the map-pin in the picture) is supposed to be for buses only, and has a posted low speed-limit (10mph).

Despite that, it's not all that unusual for me to see someone driving through the bus-only area. Usually it seems like they just missed the turn to get into the parking (middle left side), but a few times I've seen people drive to a bus-stop and wait there to pick someone up from the train or a bus or drop them off. About half the time they don't seem to care how fast they're going through the area. I've seen (once) someone going about 30mph through the area.

And then there's these guys that I saw while waiting for my bus back home last night:


Parked on the sidewalk on the platform.

Engine off, not even idling.

Really?
