I live on the alignment in DTSS and am psyched for the Purple Line. There is rail in the road outside my house!

Because having reliable transportation options that don't require personal car ownership are awesome! Let me guess, you've also been whining and crying about Charles Allen and Brianne Nadeau on this board, too.

NP.

Allen crafted the plan to make fare-evasion legal on Metro.

Your “awesome!” metro is about to collapse financially thanks to the idiot crime-bro Charles Allen, who you voted for, PP.

Admit it: you voted for Allen.

TLDR--when is the purple line actually going to be running?

Kids will have gone completely through Sligo Elementary and Silver Spring International Middle without that purple line construction being completed. It's never ending.

It's never going to be viable. What a waste. It will drain untold millions from good use in other areas.

It’s never been close to self supporting. There are limits to the benefits of public goods.

Fare evasion costs Metro $40MM out of a $4.8BB budget, or approximately 0.8%. So no, fare evasion is a rounding error, not any significant reason for Metro's so-called "collapse."

Please explain what "be viable" means to you, in the context of the Purple Line.
