WMATA does fairly well, Metrobus, not. And we know how both have skimped on maintenance for (how many? years which totally skews the ##. BART recently got a $3.5 billion bond issue approved to fund basic deferred maintenance and are in delivery of a new fleet replacing all of the current cars (some though GOH'd in the 90s are the originals from 72-74) over the next few years. |
