[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I somehow get the feeling that the vast majority of posters on this thread don't have kids that ride Metro. [/quote]

Because I remember Fawn Hall? I'm in my forties and have children who ride metro. I grew up in DC reading the newspaper and remember all kinds of tidbits (the man who drove the van he claimed was filled with explosives up the Washington Monument, the redskins winning, and subsequently losing the Superbowl.) I paid attention to stuff. I guess these days I would be called precocious. And metro was dreamy back then. Clean as a whistle. I clearly remember riding it when I was a tween and noticing a cool early hip hop styled guy laughing his ass off. He then proclaimed, "I'm from NY. You all have carpets  on your trains!?"  it was awesome. Metro used to be fun for kids and everyone else. Take back metro! I'm all for some common sense law.[/quote]

I'm seeing a lot more dogs on the Metro, and not just of the trained, seeing-eye variety.  People are taking animals on board trains, claiming that they are "support animals."  One night there was this scruffy guy on the train, and his dog relieved itself right in the car.  The kiosk operator said that they have been told not to challenge such persons, claiming that they can't ask for a certificate showing that the dog is a support animal or even stop someone whose pet is not wearing a vest/decal.  What sort of "support" do passengers with dog allergies get?!  When animals are pissing in the stations and on the trains, Metro is truly going to the dogs.  [/quote]

They should have to register their support animals who also should be assigned a Smart trip pass.[/quote]
