"Our members go to work every day cognizant of their responsibility to perform a job on behalf of our customers – the riding public.” -Jackie Jeter
oh. I thought her name was Jackie Jeers. ;-)
If this is the kind of stuff we can see, think about what we can't see.
The busses with the broken signs used to drive me crazy (until I started driving to work). On the way down Columbia Pike, they had to stop at every stop, even if no one was getting off, and shout "No, this is a 16Y, I only go to Barcroft. No, I don't go to Culmore, this is a 16-Y! Barcroft!"
Regarding 3017, it seems that Metro had some confusion early on about where that rear number was supposed to go. I want to say it was 3045 where I saw the same thing happen, where they had to move the number.
Spot the fail: University of Phoenix offers option "B" in the horizontal banner question with a number of "3" but on the square poster to the right it says the answer is: "B. 67"
Maybe the 67,001st expert faculty member should be a numerologist? Or at least a 5th grade math student.
I suppose all of these new hirings coming soon are to compensate for these oopsies? yeah-right-sure...
Are the new hires coming from the peak-of-the-peak additional fare I will be paying in addition to the fare increase in addition to the 2-stations special fare increase soon to be approved by the board later this month? Do I even bother writing my Congress reps again?
again, bus drivers have zero control when the computers on the buses don't work....they can either call central and get a new bus or they can just tell people, which i hope that driver was doing in your photo, which bus it is.
sometimes the GPS won't go on in the bus which screws up 'next bus' but again is this really the fault of the driver?
yes, what about all the stuff you can't see. you can't see the workers just as frustrated as the passengers when things don't work on their trains or buses.
metro is the ONLY public transport option in DC, right?
give some of them a break and give the ones that are mean a comment card to central.
The post isn't saying it's the driver's fault, but damn, the thing doesn't work. SLOPPY
Someone screwed up the new numbers. SLOPPY.
Someone didn't bother to match up the advertisements. SLOPPY.
sure it is sloppy i don't disagree....what i do disagree with is the slamming of metro constantly for things that are sometimes beyond the control of the people working the ground....i know a lot of the drivers do the best they can and i know a lot of drivers that don't give a shit.
Attention to Detail? You mean like in your title, "Safey"?
it's a joke
Sure.... NOW it is
"....what i do disagree with is the slamming of metro constantly for things that are sometimes beyond the control of the people working the ground...."
Maybe if we saw more evidence that those people working the ground were trying to earn the benefit of the doubt.
No, there is something about what he's saying about "safey"; it’s just something that's above my head. I e-mailed Unsuck about it yesterday. As he did not make any changes, I figured there must be a "“method to his madness!"
Besides, is Metro really safe? It's more safeish or safey.;)
