Hard pass on that.

That will lead to surge pricing for tourists, low income employees and people on fixed incomes.

MD/VA should encourage their residents to use metro to lower carbon emissions for climate change purposes. They don't necessarily have to come into DC but using parts of the system helps.

Metro doesn't go anywhere in the suburbs. It goes to downtown DC, and nowhere else. It is useless for me.

You clearly have no knowledge about the service area and the services provided.

Look at a service map. If you live in DC proper, metro and metro bus are going to be relatively close to you. If you live in Maryland or DC, the odds are that stations are further and less convenient and bus service is non existent. Even if you do live near a line, the system is designed to bring you into DC's urban core not to help you run errands. Now that commuting ridership is down, MD and VA should stop subsidizing DC riders

The system is designed to move people to downtown DC and, more recently, Dulles. Let DC and Loudon pay.

Fares should be much lower or 0. Fatepmey is spent on fare collection. If the system isn't pulling its weight to reduce car usage, then just shut it down.

*fare money is spent...

Statement: Metro doesn't go anywhere in the suburbs.
Fact check: FALSE. Metro (rail and bus) goes to multiple suburban jurisdictions in both Maryland and Virginia.

Statement: It goes to downtown DC, and nowhere else.
Fact check: FALSE. See above.

Statement: It is useless for me.
Fact check: FALSE. You benefit from Metro even if you yourself never, ever, ever use it.

Metro was designed to take suburbanites to downtown jobs. It also serves to take people to sporting events, whether Nats, DC United, Caps, or Wizards. If the latter 2 actually move to NoVa, Metro will be a key component of the transpo plan.

Also if they don't actually move to NoVa.

It sounds like it benefits DC businesses. Maybe MD and VA taxpayers shouldn't be subsidizing a system designed to take their residents to another jurisdiction, especially now that they are building competing employment centers

Stupid reply. Maybe, then, DC businesses should not employ MD or VA residents. Or, maybe, DC should change the tax compact that prevents DC from taxing MD and VA residents who work in DC. Maybe, Metro should charge a higher fare to MD and VA who come to DC to watch a Nats or DC United game.

DC can change it's law however they choose to. I doubt MD and VA congressmen would support it though

Note that CT residents pay NY income taxes on the NY income the CT residents earn. These CT residents file NY nonresident returns, and CT resident tax returns. DC has long complained about its inability to tax MD and VA residents.

Tax compact? Congress would never let that happen. LOL.

Fares are already $0. You don’t have to pay if you don’t want to.
