Maybe I wouldn't have stopped by Twitter device updates from WMATA if they weren't so unbelievably useless. I heard the auto-announcement in the station (Court House, 8:25am) at least twice AND got a call from a friend warning me about it before the text alert came. New motto of WMATA should be as follows:
ReplyDelete"WMATA: We'll get you there late. Or, if you run, we might get you there just in time and very sweaty."
They should take the @wmata name to give them a little more room for actual information.
ReplyDeleteUgh, I won't be descending into Woodley Park during those Van Ness/Dupont weekends. Bets on how long it takes for a tourist to be forced onto the tracks near the escalator, while every other part of the platform is empty?
