[quote=Anonymous]WMATA has been broken for decades. It was just easier to mask the dysfunction for the first 25-30 years because maintenance could be deferred on infrastructure that was still relatively new. Those days are gone. And to make matters worse, the foundational purpose for which the entire Metro system was built to satisfy (ferrying MC and UMC commuters from the suburbs and suburban neighborhoods to the DC CBD and back) has changed. We now have a crumbling and obsolete fixed system of trains and tracks that is out of alignment with the present and future transit needs of the region.[/quote]
