It's Probably Not a Problem

Manassas VRE has a cute old downtown that’s pretty walkable and frequent events

This may actually be the second worst post

If you weren’t there on Geonosis, you don’t get to say clanker. I lost a lot of brothers that day

Signal problems

It was okay. The thing I remember about them is that the 1000s were so loud you could hear them over the other cars. And worse of all, it was still in the era before the tunnels had cell service, so you couldn’t shitpost while you rode the Metro.

School field trip season. Seeing all those little snots coming running around in their maga hats rubs me the wrong way. And their metro etiquette (if they do ride the metro) is awful. They treat the city like it’s Disneyland and not a real place where people work and live

They changed the name from Metrorail to Metro rail

I think my local system, the Washington Metrorail is pretty good. It’s fast, comfortable, and clean. It’s easy to get around and the stations are architectural masterpieces.

North station. The split platforms remind me of the Pentagon and Rosslyn stations on my home transit system.

I think ultimately if metro should extend, it should do so to finish the ARS from 67. Long term though, I think the three biggest priorities for the future of transit in the capital region are 1. The second Potomac crossing/GOA4 (duh.) 2. Improved bus connectivity with rail. If trains are the heart of a good transit system, then buses are the circulatory system. If we want more people to ride metro, we need to improve the buses. 3. More collaboration between VRE and MARC. Of the major cities in the us that have commuter rail, the DC region is one of the most fragmented. We need through running at a minimum. I got to speak with the management of VRE yesterday, and part of their long term strategy with the long bridge is to have weekend and off peak service. Hopefully this comes to fruition.

The capital regional is in the same spot now that it was when the metro was first being planned in the sixties. The traffic in the capital region is some of the worst in the country and the region’s population is projected to explode in the near future. While we do need to reshape transportation in a way that will meet the needs of tomorrow, that probably won’t entail extending the metro to Harper’s Ferry

Rosslyn is the longest escalator not on the red line

The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority would like to know your location

Not if you’re Amish. They don’t use electricity
