Posted by Forest Glen on Thu Jul 1 23:38:33 2010, in response to Re: WhineMATA, posted by Dupont Circle Station on Thu Jul 1 23:22:37 2010. Every morning around 6 AM the parking lots at the suburban stations fill up. By the time the inbound Orange line reaches East Falls Church it's already crush loaded. Metro ridership is robust. Furthermore, the suburban stations are spaced so far apart that Metro is essentially a commuter railroad masquerading as a subway system. People get what they paid for. A trip on the Red line from Rockville to the District is expensive but it's 10-15 miles on a train with cushioned seats. If people can't afford Metrorail then they can take the joke known as the Metrobus. |
