[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’ve lived downtown in Shaw for 17 years. Our kids, 12 and 9, know how to take the city bus to and from school. The problem is the people on the bus—crazy, rude, high/drunk, potentially dangerous. I went to school in nyc and spent my whole adulthood in cities. I wish we could make public transportation safe for all— families, tourists, kids, the elderly. What would it take? We have 1 car, plug in electric, but I’d rather send my kids on a city bus… we like to ride bikes through the city but frankly it is dangerous. We only did that during the early days of the pandemic when the roads were clear. More and more people will be killed riding bikes as long as they have to share the roads with cars. I won’t let my kids ride their bikes to school.[/quote]

Nicer bus transit was a goal of the Circulator system, but that was called elitist and lost favor. We can't have nice things:([/quote]

Many of the bus routes are fine and I feel safe on them - but there are a few like the X2 that are dicey.  WMATA should put Metro Police on some of the more notorious lines like the X2.[/quote]
