[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in a big house near Metro and take it to work most days.  We never ever ever use it on weekends or evenings.  When we lived in DC we basically never used it even though we lived 5 mins away.  The service is so awful and it's such a bad experience that lots of people are like us -- live very close to Metro, but very rarely use it.  [b]I guess if I didn't value my time or ever have to be on time to things and didn't care about my safety I would ride.[/quote][/b]

Yes, the tons and tons of people who ride it every day don't care about these things either.

:shock:

What a privileged world you live in.  My god.[/quote]

The PP was just being honest.  This city's ivories a wholly unreliable service.  If anyone needs to make it to a meeting, being late due to metro failures is absolutely no excuse as it is to be expected.  My organization doesn't give a shit whether I reduce my carbon footprint.  I'm expected to show up on time, every time.. Metro is not an option unless I have the luxury of not having meeting until 9:30 am at the earliest.  [/quote]

You guys are clueless.  There are huge swaths of people in our area who rely on Metro out of a lack of choice.  Do you think the service industry workers don't care about their time and safety? No, they love to be late and love to be accosted.  It's awesome.   :roll:

If they're late b/c of Metro do you think their manager cares?  They're likely to get canned from something out of their control.

Take off your blinders.  Yeesh.  You do live in rarefied world, admit it. [/quote]
