Moving to the DC area, the greatest joy was that I could save the wear and tear on my vehicle and use public transportation. It would be the way to go, or so I thought.
Earlier this year, the Metro raised fares, citing maintenance costs and other crap. So I pay more, but the service remains crappy. Anyone who rides the Blue or Orange lines are well aware that if someone farts in the wrong key, the service goes out. Or there is a switching problem, or a malfunction, etc. etc. But yet here they are about to expand the system to Dulles when they can't even maintain or make work properly, the lines they already have. Also, they are proposing adding a new purple line. Again! Why?
Your system sucks. It doesn't work. New York, Chicago, NEVER have the amount of problem that WMATA has. Why is that???Nothing is worse after a long hard day at work and then having to bake in the un-airconditioned metro station waiting for whatever problem has befell the system that day. My suggestion to Metro is, get an auditor looking at those books. That money is going somewhere, but it's definiely not going towards maintaince...think about it.
