I mean, I don't remember pre-pandemic times being any better than half the time you are complaining about, but I suppose a 50% increase is pretty dramatic. But considering the pandemic and the 30 min wait times, I'd say 10's pretty okay.

Thanks, I will check them out.

I’m a DC native and although I grew up with my parents both owning cars and then moving away and living in densly populated cities, I stand by my point to live car-free for the rest of my life. I hate driving and I don’t see the point in having one when I can just metro/bike/scooter everywhere with an ocassional uber ride. No regrets!

I bike to work everyday. I use Metro (mainly bus) to run errands/visit places and people. Scooter if I am in a rush/running errands (if I don’t feel like biking) and will Uber ocassionaly. Not super often.

I don’t regret it. I would not be able to afford a car if I had one anyway.

Generally speaking, the incident has already occurred or won't get much worse than it already is. So approaching with a calm attitude will do more than speed will.

My only issue is the bus wait times, sometimes it’s an hour between buses!

just to be totally pedantic here, efficiency does not mean more frequent service. I would say an efficient metro is one that matches train frequency to ridership levels.

not D.C., but an easy walk from the Twinbrook subway:

No problem. So, it's a scam. Enjoy your weekend!

If it were for Roaming Rooster, I could understand. But hate chicken?! This is terrible.

I got rid of my car bc of the metro, it’s just a black hole of money otherwise. Plus I sleep better knowing I don’t gotta move for street sweeping.

Again… running around in circles doesn’t make it more urgent to us. We have extra information that you do not have. We are strategic on how things are done.

What do I know though? I’ve been a firefighter isn’t he city for years but I’m sure you can do a better job. Maybe just leave this job to those of us who have dedicated our lives to it.

What about cheeto dust? Will that dirty it sufficiently?

Theres something about the immigrants he likes vs. the ones he doesn’t. I’m not quite sure I can put my finger on it….🤔

Mày I ask which neighborhood?

Wait, do you mean Bmore to Tysons commute?

Look around this sub. DC police don't do shit about anything

Agreed, service standards are awful. They often talk about frequencies but it’s always for at like 8-9:30am.

That one is limited in choices also.

Still beats sitting in traffic on 295. 10 minutes is not that bad especially with the yellow line being down.

They are currently running every 8 minutes. Could have been a train malfunction or medical emergency earlier.

The metro is not run by the DC Government. It's a private entity. It does get money from DC, Maryland, and Virginia, and the states have some input in decision making but that's a fiasco.

Aside from driving to visit my partners family in NOVA twice a month, I never drive. I'd take the metro but the trip is unjustifiable for the time I spend out there. Been like this for about 4 years now
