We already discussed this up thread. No, the metro loses far more money than roads.

Just keep on dumping money into the metro because don’t you know! It’s a public service!

Yeah who needs accountability for anything. Just keep on throwing dollars at a problem that gets more bloated every year.  Tell you what, [b]I’ll agree to give the metro more money[/b] as soon as you demand they cut out ridiculous bloat, slash useless jobs, and reduce ridiculous union salaries and benefits.  They’re the ones really choking the metro to death, yet your solution is to throw more money at the problem.  Brilliant plan!

Or DC could, you know, collect the over $1B owed to it in tickets and use that to fund the metro if it cares about it so much:

But let me guess, that wouldn’t be equitable, right? [/quote]

Unless you're on the Metro board, or a state elected official, you're not making the decisions about Metro funding, and I don't care what you agree or don't agree to.

Yes, it would be great if the drivers who owe tickets to DC had to pay.[/quote]
