[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems sort of obvious that OP has not taken metro recently.   There are a lot of people taking metro during the work week. It’s not shoulder to shoulder but there are plenty of commuters.

What kind of bumper to bumper traffic would there be with cheap parking?  That’s the least of it.  People need to actually learn how to drive properly.  I swear it seems like drivers around DC metro found their drivers license in a cereal box rather than actually take a drivers Ed class.

The signals have to be timed, DC Police and suburban police have to start ticketing aggressively all the drivers who block the intersection just so they can “make the light” yet block the box with their cars so that now the cross traffic that has the green light is blocked. This creates an immense web of traffic out to the beltway, yet nothing is done to diminish it. [/quote]
Why do people make posts like this when the data is publicly available. 4 out of 5 days last week less people took Metrorail than in 2021.

I notice that a lot of this cyclist, anti-car stuff is frequently either anecdote over data or misuse/misunderstanding of induced demand. [/quote]
