[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you kidding? Bethesda to UMD? We want it. Thousands of college students, university profs and employees are eagerly waiting for it.

Don't be stupid.

oh yes, all those UMD students commuting from downtown Bethesda..

Driving, even with traffic, will be faster[/quote]

No it won't be - the Purple Line which will have it's own right of way for most of the route will take 9 minutes to go from Bethesda to Silver Spring.

There is no way even at 2AM to cover that distance today in 9 minutes.

Also left out of this discussion is that the project will extend the Capital Crescent Trail (the most used multi-use trail in the country) from Bethesda to Silver Spring.[/quote].

All of which will bring more crime to Bethesda.[/quote]

[b]So you think someone will take a streetcar to bethesda, commit a crime, and then....wait for a streetcar to make off with their bounty?

That is a heck of a racial profiling ask there.[/quote]

It happens more than you think along the Metro.  Criminals have even rolled shopping carts full on stolen goods to the Metro elevator from the DC Target on Connecticut Ave.

Buddy, I’m gonna blow your mind: criminals can drive cars too! In fact, you may not have paid attention, but car jacking has been a thing in the District in the last 3 years. Public transportation is not the only way people can commit crimes[/quote]

Would more frequent capital punishment sentences be helpful here?[/quote]
