Hard pass on that.

That will lead to surge pricing for tourists, low income employees and people on fixed incomes.

MD/VA should encourage their residents to use metro to lower carbon emissions for climate change purposes. They don't necessarily have to come into DC but using parts of the system helps.

Metro doesn't go anywhere in the suburbs. It goes to downtown DC, and nowhere else. It is useless for me.

You clearly have no knowledge about the service area and the services provided.

Look at a service map. If you live in DC proper, metro and metro bus are going to be relatively close to you. If you live in Maryland or DC, the odds are that stations are further and less convenient and bus service is non existent. Even if you do live near a line, the system is designed to bring you into DC's urban core not to help you run errands. Now that commuting ridership is down, MD and VA should stop subsidizing DC riders

Metro was designed to take suburbanites to downtown jobs. It also serves to take people to sporting events, whether Nats, DC United, Caps, or Wizards. If the latter 2 actually move to NoVa, Metro will be a key component of the transpo plan.

It sounds like it benefits DC businesses. Maybe MD and VA taxpayers shouldn't be subsidizing a system designed to take their residents to another jurisdiction, especially now that they are building competing employment centers

Stupid reply. Maybe, then, DC businesses should not employ MD or VA residents. Or, maybe, DC should change the tax compact that prevents DC from taxing MD and VA residents who work in DC. Maybe, Metro should charge a higher fare to MD and VA who come to DC to watch a Nats or DC United game.

DC can change it's law however they choose to. I doubt MD and VA congressmen would support it though

Survey regarding potential fee increases and service closures. They are planning to remove all bus service easily accessible for me — check your neighborhood!
