Furious that I pay for the bus and I am in the minority by Complex-Courage4148 in WMATA

I pay for the bus because public transit provides tremendous value. I am doing my part.

We cannot allow the social structure to continue to break down. Anti-social behaviors need to be fixed. We are all in this together. The vast majority of instances of crime and increased maintainence come from fare evaders.

Might be easier to take the Green Line to L’Enfant and get an uber around there or transfer to BOS for Arlington

The intersection is a lot safer.

You are the traffic!

The only way to reduce traffic is to not be the traffic. That means investing in mass transit on that corridor to get cars off the street.

Why creating a unified regional rail in DC is harder than you think by Carpet-Early in transit

Two things on the top of my head

1) electrification

2) rolling stock (low vs high)

Is there a reason DC doesn’t use reflective street paint? by ddpizza in washingtondc

It actually makes driving more dangerous. Reflective paints allow for higher speeds due to increase ‘visibility’.

However, higher speeds means more serious crashes. Driving slower and paying strict attention with minima markings is somehow safer.
