[quote=Anonymous]Like everyone else, I have been home for months and only just started taking metro again.  Recently, I have had to take the metro several times after 7:30 pm. There are even less people traveling at that hour than during the day, but in every station that I have been in in DC, there has been someone crazy.  I am not talking about the homeless, but people who are screaming, yelling, pacing up and down.   A couple weeks ago I boarded at Union Station and had a man prowling, screaming, who slammed off the escalator and then starting approaching people getting up in their faces.  He cooled it a bit since there was metro police officer on the platform who asked him to leave, but he refused and sat down.  The policeman just watched him.  I moved to the other end of the platform where a guy was punching his bag and also screaming.  We all moved to the next car when he got on.  Similar situations at Metro Center, Farragut West.  All between 8 and 9:30 pm.

I am from New York City and I have friends telling me that right now they are avoiding using the subways if they can due to similar occurrences.

I have to go out to Arlington this evening, but I am seriously thinking of getting an Uber all the way back.  I normally wouldn't - it will only be around 9 pm again.  Any other downtown evening metro riders experiencing this?
