Well, out of the people here, you and Forest Glen seem to be the only ones who seem to have nothing but super special awesome experiences on Metro. Seeing how more people aren't speaking up with experiences on Metro similar to yours, I believe that would also make you an anomaly. You're just a lucky one who experiences few problems rather than someone like me who experiences many. Besides, you just admitted that even if you rarely get caught on a broken down train, you've been delayed by them a number of times. A delay is just as bad as a broken down train. Let's say people on a broken down train had to be on that specific train to make a connection. They've been unloaded somewhere and will now miss their connection. Some people on the next train will probably have to be somewhere else necessitating being on that specific train and will now miss their connections thanks to the domino effect from the problem train breaking down.However often this happens to any given individual should not be the focus. Neither my experience nor yours should be a disregarded anomaly. What ideally should become an anomaly is when there is a problem in the system. The focus should be that these problems are happening, and that in any respectable transportation system, they should NOT be happening. Therefore, everything should be done by Metro and local governments to stop the problems from happening. That should be the mindset of everyone at Metro so that Metro can properly take care of the entire public as it is supposed to do. |
