Metro spends $38,000 on lighting pilot (WaPo)
$38,000 seems pretty expensive to light up one small area, but the best part is this: "Metrorail stations have 73,836 lights. Many of them are impossible to reach from the platform. Metro has to stop the trains to allow workers to replace a bulb along the granite platform edge. "
More form over function thinking from Metro
this is PRICELESS.... LMAO
ReplyDeleteThey have to stop the trains??? Perhaps they could change those bulbe when the system is closed for the night?... Naaah.
ReplyDelete..but... there's no light at night time! It's scary in the dark. ;-D
ReplyDeleteIn fairness, the form over function decision was made in 1972. Some members of their current management were still in diapers.
