is useless. NTSB pretty much confirmed it last week as they presented their findings for last summers Red Line crash.
Today the Examiner further drove the point home with their article about board members not attending meetings…
They need to go….. implode the current board! Get board members that actually ride the system…. daily. We know what is wrong, and maybe able to think outside the box about some possible fixes . I still can’t believe the extension to Dulles was approved while the current system devolves into meltdown mode when there is some issue that starts the awesome-ness of a single-tracking backlog on the Red Line…..

Oh…. and enjoy those fare hikes 
We celebrated the fare hikes at the Pentagon this morning with ALL the escalators not running. I wonder who is doing what with all this extra money…
Foggy Bottom celebrated by not having any of the fare gates accepting SmarTrip cards!
the email for the Washington Suburban Transit Commission bounces.
Instead contact the Governor since he appoints the board.
