In what conceivable universe does it make sense to provide DOUBLE the number of Blue Line trains west toward Virginia as Orange Line trains in the midst of evening rush hour during a MAJOR DELAY???
Seriously, two half-empty Blue Line trains for every one stuffed-to-the-gills, so-crowded-don't-even-think-about-boarding Orange Line trains!!
I had to watch two Orange lines and FOUR Blue Line trains go by before I could squeeze on board at Farragut West--the Orange Line trains spaced about 15 minutes apart!!!
Doesn't anyone at Metro keep ridership statistics? Isn't there anyone there who understands there are probably twice as many Orange Line riders as Blue Line riders going in that direction at that time of night? Is this rocket science or something?
Who are the GENIUSES WHO ARE RUNNING THIS SHOW???????
Sincerely yours,
FRUSTRATED on the Orange Line
