Railing Against the Rails



Angry, bitter, venomous, it-could-only-happen here, this-is-why-everyone-else-laughs-at-us, what-horrible-mismanagement reaction to proposed public transportation increases.

In DC? No.



And Boston. Oh, and it's a ridiculous joke there, too.

Am I saying DC's Metro is perfect? No.

Am I saying commuting sucks, no matter where you live, where you're going or how you're getting there? Pretty much.

This is why I think the Metro should abandon the trains altogether and just have the tubes available for commuters. Put in some moving walkways for people who want to just stand or lean and move constantly. Or you could ride your bike to work in the tube or you could jog or walk at your own pace. Think of lanes like at the track or in the pool for different speeds. And zero maintenance cost. I think I'm a genius.

I know someone who'd agree with you on the tubes ...

I want tubes!!! ... Although I was a little unsold on the huge fare increases, I agree the reaction was overkill. Any chance this will wake VA up and get Metro a dedicated funding source?
