[quote=Anonymous]Neither our home nor our schools are near enough to Metro for it to be an option for us. But, I used to ride Metro daily for work - up till about 1997. Even then, I was starting to see the deterioration in quality (I remember the time the escalator at Judiciary Square was running so fast that passengers ended up being thrown into each other at the end because we could not get off it fast enough) and safety (e.g., riding home when some punk starts acting up making vague threats to other passengers). The situation today is intolerable. The few times I have to use Metro these days just punctuate how far we have fallen since Metro used to be a crown jewel for DC. I am not going to tell others what to do for their families, but for me, even if we lived and schooled near a Metro station, I'd have to see some very serious improvements before I'd let my kids ride on their own.[/quote]
