Since when does overcrowded platform = breakdown ???[/quote]

Right, because this is the only example.  Well, here are a couple more:  two red line trains broke down and were offloaded this morning; a blue line train had mechanical problems and broke down yesterday evening during rush; and OL/SL are single-tracking and causing massive delays.  I'm sure there are lots more, these are just a handful from Unsuck DC Metro reported over the last 24 hours.

But really, defending Metro?  Doing that just makes you look dumb or completely out of touch.[/quote]

Metro badly needs to change to be all it can be.  Its got lots of reliability problems.

Still, when I use it, it is very seldom I personally encounter a breakdown. Mostly it goes pretty smoothly.

[b]But yeah, there are problems. Safetrack on the Orange Line is a big problem for commuters from Dunn Loring and Vienna.

Who do not live in the District.[/b] [/quote]

Yeah, this thread has gone totally off topic. Both DC residents and suburbanites use Metro.[/quote]

Yeah to me one of the best things about living in the city is not having to depend on metro (no way would I drive to DC). I can get most places via walking or bike share.[/quote]

"Most places"? LOL. What a tiny little life you must lead.[/quote]

Bike share covers almost the entire District, almost everywhere in Arlington worth going, half of Alexandria, and the most interesting parts of Montgomery.  [/quote]

Thanks for confirming my point. [/quote]
