Unsuck DC Metro: Classic Metro

Classic Metro

Reader @Rizzz rightfully complained to Metro about the Sept. 19 Red Line mess.

Metro replied (see the above letter), giving four "complimentary free ride" tickets.

There was just one catch.

Oops!

For the record, Metro managed to send me one.

Oh, and with the great unveiling of the 7000-series mock cars, what could go wrong?

Am I the only one whose teeth are set on edge by "Complimentary Free Ride"?

And is there a glitch in the site? I can't sign on with my own Twitter.

Most of my rides are compliment-free rides however, there has been the rare occasion when the train operator has expressed appreciation for assistance with door closings. That's kind of a compliment, right?

It's the thought that counts!

You're welcome!

On days like that they should have someone standing at the out gate handing them out as people give up and leave. Writing a letter shouldn't be required.
