[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is the nation's capital, it is supposed to be a global world class city. One of the survey questions asked about a metro proposal to end service at 10pm. 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. [/quote] Encourage with a strongly worded email? Billboard? People are going to continue driving if they want to.[/quote] People will take Metro (rail or bus) if it's convenient. If service ends at 10 pm, or trains or buses only come every half hour, or fares are sky high, then it's not convenient.[/quote]
