This does not appear to be the case.<br /><br />Along the lines of accountability, I'd like to see a partial refund on my Metrotrip card when Metro fails to fulfill its service level. Let's say that Metro advertises my trip will take 45 minutes. For every five minutes over the 45 minutes my trip was supposed to have taken, Metro should refund my $.25. Thus, Metro would have a financial incentive to meet its schedule. Of course, if this really happened, we would see the advertised trip lengths double...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689506078297112665.post-59950776522267739672009-09-26T20:33:39.453-04:002009-09-26T20:33:39.453-04:00Public sector unions should be banned!!

Got to work an hour late. At one point there were TWO out of service trains standing idly at the Vienna station, which was choked with passengers. Not a single announcement was made about the reason for the delay or how long we could expect to wait.<br /><br />And yet John Catoe continues to have a job ... even gets an extension for 3 years. Pathetic. Metro is absolutley the worst run mass public transit system in the United States if not the world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689506078297112665.post-76923936964940610202009-09-25T16:14:40.859-04:002009-09-25T16:14:40.859-04:00It's truly a shame to see what was once a good...It's truly a shame to see what was once a good union come to this. <br />I worked at WMATA for many years in the 80s and early 90s.
