Now you got the meaning of Catoe's quote, and Catoe wasn't the first to say it. Resources were put into the rail system and not the buses. It has nothing to do with the FTA rules pertaining to charters. That said, the school routes are accounted for when the runs are put together, so the resources exist for those. Many school routes have been simplified, combined, or cut entirely in recent years. WMATA's best known charter operations are the Wolf Trap Shuttle and the Redskins shuttles. The Wolf Trap shuttle only requires 2 to 3 buses from what I understand. The Redskins shuttle typically ran on Sundays when plenty of buses are free to be used for that operation. For the rare Monday night game, my guess is they just operated with a low spare ratio for one afternoon, there has been nothing to suggest regular service was sacrificed for the Redskins shuttle.The burden of proof is on you for making such a claim, not on me. I've explained what actually happens. You seem to have an agenda, but I invite you to post any substantive proof that WMATA charter operations take away resources from regularly established services. |
