[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There also needs to be a much greater effort to increase mass transit into and within DC. Our metro and bus grid is pretty pathetic, and transit times using WMATA are frankly outrageous. We must give drivers a good alternative to their shitty cars.[/quote]

As I have posted here and in other threads, the people who want to drive, or who HAVE to drive, should be the biggest advocates for bike lanes and better mass transit.[/quote]
You people are a broken record. WMATA has already spent considerable money doing all of these things. Based on your claims that reduced headways on metrorail and regular/frequent bus service would induce demand, they actually did it. They spent the money that could have been used on other capital projects to do this stuff and guess what? It didn’t work.

Listening to the transit bros reminds me about a joke from the 80s/90s about campus leftists in the US. When faced with real world examples of where communism and socialism failed, they always claimed “true communism just hasn’t been tried yet.”[/quote]
