Posted by Scrabbleship on Tue Jun 29 09:43:14 2010 The following are a bunch of Twitter exerts from WMATA riders from yesterday morning to this morning. The massive fare hike couldn't have come at a worse time, as AC systems have been overwhelmed in stations and cars, 10% of escalators are out of service, and a non-train suicide screwed up the Red Line for hours.Yesterday Morning Packed 5A bus that I just paid $6 to ride. Screw you #wmata. Thanks #wmata! So happy to pay more $ for a 20+ minute trip from Glenmont to SilverSpg. #fixyr[crappy]trains Quite excited that a one-bus + two-stop trip is going to cost me 3.45$. Can't wait for peak-of-the-peak fare, costing me ?. Thanks #wmata!Currently playing "The Waiting Game" between Takoma and Silver Spring.... Praying this day goes by fast...so pissed they upped the damn fare #wmata those [female dogs] Man, this new, more expensive metro service is awesome! I could run faster than this train! Thanks for the ego boost, #wmata! Day 1 of #WMATA fare hikes and my trains has been inexplicably sitting outside of Silver Spring station for 5 minutes. Dear #wmata customers: we dug ourselves into a hole and now you must suffer! Muwhahaha! Thank you for surviving Metro. #wmata Temp on platform at #wmata Ballston right now: 93. Spare Change: Saw a bum outside a rail station yesterday begging for a credit card cosigner so he could afford to ride #wmata. Metro be on that BS ... How are u guna hike up prices but yet delay the trains smh I'm def driving tomorrow ... Urg Yesterday Night Metro - it is nearly 10:00 and Red Line still delayed. You suck.Your fare hike ought to be rebated. Pathetic #metrosucks #unsuckmetro About that wmata escalator fail: It's summer. There are tourists in town. Is *one* working escalator at Gallery Place too much to ask for? Wow - WMATA lying left and right about the incident tonight. I don't think a lack of funding = being a bunch of liars. WMATA has more than doubled my commute time tonight because they didn't predict that it would rain for five minutes on one June afternoon. So wmata has really nailed this "Charge more for excellent service" thing. First week of the higher fares and we're already held captive. Ah metro, I love waiting in a station that is not air conditioned. The heat index has to around 105. Dear WMATA, you just raised your fares, where is my money going? Your trains are still overfull and unsafe. #wtfmetro This Morning (disaster drills at Shady Grove and Silver Spring made things worse) If higher fares are based on time in the system, they're totally legit and justified. If wmata is going to continually raise fares the least they can do is have their buses arrive on time Ugh Metro...why can't I have an event-free commute? No AC in car #3223 on Red line. HOT. I want my money back. Seriously. Intolerable service: money back guarantee=good service. (from one person whose Twitter feed is nothing but WMATA cynicism) Good morning, wmata riders! Are we ready for another day of this bull... Every morning I grab an Express because its the only form of air conditioning at Ballston Metro Center is now the air conditioning oasis in my commute. I hope they catch those crooks running wmata in the anti-terrorism drills! Sometimes it takes me 2+ hours to get home on wmata. You think that deserves a higher rate? Time based fares would start stampeding in the stations and general slow-down of wmata staff/services to increase fares. I think its time to carpool and ditch the incompetent and uncompetitive DC metro. #wmata #dcmetro its cheaper to drive n park in DC now. Has WMATA fallen that far, is complaining DC's unofficial sport (since all the real sports teams suck), or is this a possible glimpse on how the Subway would've been in the 70's with 2010's social media? |
