[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, at this point, Metro and/or MARC couldn't handle all of the extra bodies if suddenly a lot more people switched from driving to public transit.  Both transit systems are seriously over-capacity as it stands.  And I'm not sure that it is feasible (for safety reason) to add more train times for the Metro.  MARC,perhaps, but not Metro.

Perhaps with expanded routes on Metro, that could absorb more passengers, but it all depends on where those passengers would be headed (if they travel to and from points on the expanded line as opposed to traveling to points where there is already heavy usage, it won't really help).

Basically, there are just too many people in this area.  At some point, we have to realize that.  Public transportation isn't going to fix that problem if the public transportation is already seriously over capacity.

So I guess my point is, if the OP uses metro, why are you so upset that other people aren't?  Don't you realize that would only create more problems for you?[/quote]
