Evidently you believe that I should feel unsafe on Metro. Notwithstanding your belief, however, I continue to feel safe on Metro.

The point that you don't seem to want to understand is that no one cares how you feel. There is a real problem with the transit system that has nothing to do with you, but all you seemingly want to do is talk about yourself. Speaks volumes.

Are you the person who titled the thread "Ride Metro at your own risk"?

Are you the person who thinks that your personal "it's fine" experience is more important than many sexual assault survivors?

No. Nobody said that.

And yet, they have. The post below is very clear, "I have not had any issues".

Fwiw, I take the red line almost every day and have never have any issues since 2015. In fact, it's been much more pleasant than NYC!

I am not the person who said that. But it doesn't say what you claim it says. Just like, "I had a great dinner at that new restaurant last night" doesn't say, "My personal "great dinner" experience is more important than the experience of many people who are food-insecure."

https://dcist.com/story/21/07/01/metro-transit-police-inspector-general-investigate-complaints/

MTPD’s Criminal Investigation Division failed to adequately look into 3,110 “victim and general complaints,” which run the gamut from armed robberies and sexual offenses to kidnapping, assaults, and other crimes.

In many of these cases, the police department didn’t provide evidence that any basic investigation — like interviews with complainants, witnesses, or victims — took place. For about half of the reported complaints, Metro police didn’t produce any documents related to an investigation.

To be clear, this is talking about "crimes committed on the transit system between 2010 and 2017".

Fwiw, I take the red line almost every day and have never have any issues since 2015. In fact, it's been much more pleasant than NYC!

You might want to read the report first before commenting about the contents. It’s conveniently linked in the article.

DP. " MTPD’s Criminal Investigation Division failed to adequately look into 3,110 “victim and general complaints,” between 20
10 and 2017.

Is that good policing? No.

Does it make me feel less safe riding Metro? No.

The relationship and implication that you make regarding the date range is misleading. The report is very clear - and you seem to want to ignore and mislead - that the date range covered in the report (2010-2017) is a result of an internal audit that began in April 2019 that requested data through the end of 2017. The outcome of the audit was to request a further investigation that culminated in this 2021 report. No conclusion can be made from the report regarding the quality of policing between 2017 and present.

Furthermore, you imply that there is a relationship between these dates, the quality of policing and amount of crime in the system. Despite your personal anecdote, violent crime in the Metrorail system increased from 2017 to 2019. It's great that you feel safe. The fact is that it is not safe and that WMATA does not even care to keep it safe.

The lack of care that they have towards crime and in keeping with their lack of overall concern of operating the system safely. This is a big deal and your blase attitude reflects the same blase attitude that WMATA has about crime and safety.

Making the transit system inconvenient, expensive and unsafe is a pretty solid marketing strategy by WMATA.

Jesus. I stopped riding metro back in the days of fire in the tracks and the escalators spitting people two stories. But this is unseemly. Is it Purge down there?

Not surprising. If ever there was an organization led and staffed by complete incompetents, it’s WMATA.
