[quote=Anonymous]WMATA is another issue where Congress holds the purse and oversight. At a time of increasing crime within the system and stations, when they have to hire shrinking numbers of MPD for OT security, instead of having a more robust approach to safety (both crime and actual maintenance, not faked records) they recently have decided to number the lines, rather than stick with the traditional color coding and spend $$$ for re-doing all the signs. Make any of it make sense. Safety, real and perceived, on public transit is important for RTO and tourists, both desperately needed sources of revenue. But the spending priorties don't reflect that. A shrinking MPD cannot be stretched so thin as to bolster WMATA police with planned OT (of course they should still respond to 911 calls), indefinitely. They need to get their own system in order. The fun of changing all the signs may have to wait. [/quote]
