Re: WMATA: Pending Strike By ATU 689

Posted by Sand Box John on Wed Jul 18 07:50:57 2018, in response to Re: WMATA: Pending Strike By ATU 689, posted by Jackson Park B Train on Tue Jul 17 21:27:51 2018.

I suspected you were. As to WMATA ever having a nice system, no. The list of design/operation mistakes, let alone the toxic worker and mgmt culture, are legion, and fares are outrageous. WMATA needs a total GOH of both the system and the humans. A tall order for ANY GM/board.

As one that watched the build out of the railroad almost from the beginning the only design mistake was not building the three 90 degree transfer to the same generous dimensions.

The only operational mistake was never procuring enough rolling stock to fully exploit the capabilities of the signaling and train control system.
