Big winner: [b]WMATA[/b]. [/quote]

WMATA would be a big winner if it got its act together. A sizeable portion of its fleet is still out for repairs and rush hour is a debacle.[/quote]

Wrong. Rush hour is fine. Want to experience a debacle during rush hour? Try driving down 66 every day instead.[/quote]

All of the new Metro trains were recalled and are being fixed because of safety issues. How does that engender confidence in public transit when you have to recall your entire new fleet because they’re unsafe.

Some people also don’t want to deal with the growing safety issues on Metro either. Riding the DC Metro is a far cry from riding public transit on Stockholm or Hong Kong. Don’t act like Americans are spoiled because they don’t want to ride an underfunded, unsafe, crime ridden system that their counterparts in these places would scoff at.

Yes, a place like Copenhagen has higher gas prices. But it’s cycling network, urban design, and transit system blow this city’s out of the water. So why are Americans spoiled when they don’t have the same alternatives? [/quote]
