Posted by Sand Box John on Sun Jan 22 22:32:06 2017, in response to Some Thoughts on the Spat Over Metro's Inaguration Ridership Numbers, posted by WMATAGMOAGH on Sun Jan 22 21:27:18 2017. Metro history was and will be January 20, 1977 (Jimmy Carter's inauguration) when the entire system was 7 stations served by a single line (the 7th station opened on January 17, 1977, just three days prior).From WMATA history. "January 20: Jimmy Carter's Inaugural Committee charters $170,000 worth of Metrobus service and rents rail system for 2.5 hours to move crowds." During that era WMATA opened 6 AM to 8 PM weekdays except holidays and weekends. If memory serves that 2 1/2 later closing added around 3,000 trips to the normal daily Metrorail number. I was one of them as I used Metrorail to get to my night job back then. Did read that e-mail I sent you? Here is the all of them. John in the sand box of Maryland's eastern shore. |
