You obviously don't use it to commute. Beyond the horrible service, arcing insulators, fires, crashes, they also close lines down, a whole bunch of stations, for months on end, for renovations. The escalators don't work. The system is a nightmare. If they had a japanese style system here, I agree it would be better and possibly a viable alternative to driving. But that's not what we have we. We have a national embarrassment. A disgrace.[/quote]

The driving equivalent of all of these things happen when you're driving on the roads - especially fires and crashes. How many times have you been delayed by a crash while driving? That's like half of the morning "drive time" news.[/quote]
Sure that happens once in a while, but it's also possible if there's an exit, to get off and use an alternate route. That's not possible when you are on public transit. When the earthquake happened in DC a few years ago, metro was closed and I had to take a bus and walk home that day. FOrtunately I lived much closer back then.[/quote]
