[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those of you who think the employee was the problem:

Barry Hobson, the chief of staff for the Metro workers union — Amalgamated Transit Union Local 689 — said in a statement the Metro employee was taking her meal break while in transit from one assignment to another. The statement notes operators have "an average of 20 minutes to consume a meal and get to their next access point to ensure all buses and trains are on time, safe, and ready to serve the riding public.”

From the article posted by OP.[/quote]
Then Metro should alter their rules so that all passengers who are in similar situations get to eat on Metro if they choose.[/quote]

From the same article. I assume it includes passengers?

Though the union acknowledged it is against Metro rules to eat on a train or in a station, Hobson’s statement also referenced an email from Metro Transit Police Chief Ron Pavlik sent May 8, ordering officers to “cease and desist from issuing criminal citations in the District of Columbia for fare evasion; eating; drinking; spitting, and playing musical instruments without headphones until further advised.”[/quote]

Because we have demographics that can’t follow rules. [/quote]
