[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So metro has half the ridership and prices have gone up. This would appear to be counter to modern economic theory. [/quote]

Did prices really go up?  They got rid of that awful peak and peak of the peak, so I think fares actually went down.  I love the Metro trains (most times), it's a 12 min walk from my house, so super convenient.  I use it everyday for work and  most times for downtown DC events.  I hate driving around looking for parking and paying for parking garages.[/quote]

+100.  Parking in DC sucks ass.  I don't remember how many times I've ended up circling block after block, with no street parking, garage full, garage for monthly parkers only, et cetera, then you finally find some sketchy garage and have to leave your keys with them because they pack the cars in like tetris blocks, get whacked for $24 because you left 5 minutes late et cetera.  And then you still have to walk several blocks to where you were trying to get to.  Much cheaper and easier to just take mass transit.  Often faster, too.[/quote]
