Go mouse! At least one of us escaped Metro. Steve McQueen's great bike getaway has nothing on this wee widdle dude!

So do you think the mouse will know how to use an escalator that's out-of-service? ;-)

hah! Good question! I do think he'd know how to work the kiosk computer system better than the attendants I've met.

I hope it was at Fort Totten - we know he can get a meal from the Station Managers there.

Dear Mr. Unsuck,

That mouse obviously has a mental disease. It's wrong of you to exploit a disabled animal like this.

You are a monster.

<3 always,

So much about the ads saying there are no rodents on Metro...

Most of the rodents I encounter are 'working' in the station booths.

James, stop insulting the rodents. That isn't nice to compare cute little rodents to rude screaming station managers.

Honestly, on my metro commute I’d rather encounter Mickey Mouse and “It’s a Small World After All” than the unwanted, unclaimed litters of violent, threatening, taunting screaming, spitting, dirty Hip Hoppin’ Hood Rats....

Mice are cute-I would much rather have a run in with a mouse, than the station manager at Twinbrook or "whatever" the station manager from yesterdays blog post.

So that's how the escalators are powered.

That poor mouse. Living in the sqalor of the Metro. He must have seen his escape route when he finally (!) came across a working escalator. Flee, little one!
