No Line: Due to mechanical difficulties, all the station's entrance escalators are out of service. The street elevator is operational. Shut

Just give us your $4.35 and squeeze yourself in next to the sweaty tourist who got on the wrong train. Quit asking for Catoe's head, you're not going to get it.

  7. ...Shut down your preconceived notions of reality. The escalators work if you believe they are stairs.

  12. No Line: Due to mechanical difficulties, all the station's entrance escalators are out of service. The street elevator is operational. Shut down of the entire metrorail system is imminent. Not that you'd notice the difference, but we enjoy sharing useless information that doesn't improve your situation. Sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you for riding metrorail.

  13. ...Shut up about our incompetence. If you think you can do better why don't you build your own damn transit system.
