[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Hogan is an autocrat and anti-environmental governor.”

In all other scenarios, when someone approves mass transit this is normally considered to be overall a good thing for the environment. Funny how that’s different here you say...[/quote]

I work in that field, ridership is down across the nation, not just here because the issues metro is having but for the past 4 years it has been a steady decline in ridership.

If you are given the chance to work remotely would you?  That is what is happening.  People are not going to give up that perk and then get on a crowded bus or train that is dirty and not reliable.  Ridership is 1/3 of what it used to be on Mondays and Fridays, Wednesdays are down 20% while Tuesday and Thursday are down 15%

Metro took a year to do their surge to decrease the number of arching insulators, they have increased.

Most transit is funded by the government through grants so understand that those in the positions to create transit, will do so for job security.

Sure people will be excited and wowed by the first few months of service but then like most transit projects they decline in ridership, condition etc etc [/quote]

So you're opposed to the governor's ideas about widening the Beltway and I-270, right? What with people increasingly teleworking instead of commuting during regular commuting hours.[/quote]
