In other words, the "my daddy's better than your daddy" nonsense that got thrown around at the WMATA on this board was inappropriate.A point I made a few years ago, but it fell on deaf ears. I do think your post is a good one. I'm well aware of the apples vs. oranges comparisons here, but the reality is that the NYCTA is not significantly better at handling these types of situations than any other system, even though the approach differs (opening vs. shutting). The DC Metro is unique in that the majority of its ridership works for a single employer, and that many other non-federal government businesses (i.e. lawfirms) close if the federal government is closed. Once all that happens, very few people actually need to go anywhere, so transit can shut down fairly easily. |
