@metroescalators is an interesting Twitter account that uses Metro's escalator/elevator API to provide insight into just how poorly run Metro's vertical transportation system really is.
The stat above is simply astounding.
Remember what ol' Danny boy told WUSA:
For the WUSA reporter "10 points" was apparently good enough, and then she launched into regurgitating Metro PR.
Oh, and remember that the guy formerly in charge of the elevator/escalator department is now in charge of the track department!

Remember what ol' Danny boy told WUSA:
Dan Stessel says his statistics don't lie, "I can tell you that escalator reliability has improved 10 points in the last 18 months and it has, but if your escalator is out of service at your station, you don't care about that."
