I think more & more people do. Traffic is a nightmare & drivers are so rude to each other. It's nice to sit on the bus & read or chat or just look out the window & not deal with traffic. The walking to & from is good exercise, too. And it can be humbling, when you realize that on any given bus, you are one of the most fortunate persons riding.

My local route got cut, so it's not quite as convenient for me, but I love RTD!
