[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone pointed out earlier, the reason MCPS closes more often is because the county is so huge and staff tend to work much farther than they live, so commuting isn’t tenable. That being said, Bowser needs to consider many, many dcps staff don’t live in DC…. Therefore, she should be considering their safety rather just assuming everyone can public transport in.[/quote]

I'm a teacher. I live in Glover Park DC, and teach in Columbia Heights. There's no Metro in my neighborhood, the bus will not be running, my hilly street will not be plowed, and Uber will be on massive surge pricing. We better damn well be closed. Ugh. [/quote]

If buses are running, you're okay though, right?

So probably if the roads are clear enough to be on a normal bus schedule, they'll just do a 2-hour delay.[/quote]

The buses on major arteries like Wisconsin and Connecticut will be running. The buses that serve residential back streets will either be not running, or on massive detours. The kind of where is the bus I've been standing here for 45 minutes I am a block of ice the arrival time keeps falling off my app and I feel like a stupid chump for even trying to take the bus this morning detours. And then when it comes it spins out and you're even more late. [/quote]

That Glover Park Metrobus route really gets thrown for a loop when it snows. When I lived there, I feel like it would remain offline well after the roads were clear.[/quote]
