Is there a new policy in place that the feds are not allowed to leave early anymore? Would love to know when I should ride the metro to avoid the heaviest ride times.


They all got shit-canned

The red line was awful this morning. I thought (hoped) it was because I was running a few minutes late.

Lunch is 30 minutes, not an hour.

Probably a good 20% of my office is in by 6-6:30 am.

Such a dumb question. You could have gotten there at a time when the trains were bunched together (which happens often). So maybe one or two trains left just within the past few minutes.

3:30 pm is a dangerous time to be at some metro stops due to teens fighting and robbing people after school. A lot of people try to leave earlier than that.

Left work early today to ride the Red Line home and the Metro was empty. It's usually teeming with feds from 3:30 through the end of rush hour.
