Re: WMATA sank into crisis despite decades of warnings

Posted by Sand Box John on Tue Apr 26 09:14:58 2016, in response to WMATA sank into crisis despite decades of warnings, posted by TransitChuckG on Mon Apr 25 18:22:50 2016.

I wrote this at reddit.com/r/washingtondc in response the article:

As one former Metro executive said, it’s about "a two-lane road running at interstate-highway speeds, carrying interstate-highway traffic, with limited off-ramps."

Hindsight is 20/20.

The folk that have been running the railroad for the last 25 years didn't remember anything learned by the folks that designed and built it during the 25 years before.

Today the railroad is running at 55% of it designed capacity with rolling stock that consumes 20% more power and is 15% heaver then what it was built to handle.
