Finally got a response today, 3 weeks after my original submission. The schedule is correct, it's the drivers who are wrong. (Shocking, huh?)<br /><br />So here's the question... if I hop on an 18P bus tomorrow, what are the chances that the driver will know the correct schedule and let me off?Philip from Virginianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689506078297112665.post-34397668897333408292009-06-09T15:07:22.115-04:002009-06-09T15:07:22.115-04:00I've run into this problem before...the driver...I've run into this problem before...the driver either misses the stop entirely, or possibly misses the EXIT RAMP to the stop. A straight shot down 395 to 495 is not that complicated. So he took the wrong exit, and we had to double back...twice. I know people make mistakes but good god, did they not train the driver?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689506078297112665.post-24929521600582737162009-06-09T10:29:38.523-04:002009-06-09T10:29:38.523-04:00As the first anonymous said, on the 3T we had a dr...As the first anonymous said, on the 3T we had a driver one day who didn't realize they were supposed to take the I-66 ramp to get to the Metro station, they just rolled on down route 7. We had to direct them to turn at the Giant to get to the WFC station the back way. Thankfully it was just once though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689506078297112665.post-61286963333019458252009-06-08T14:05:04.566-04:002009-06-08T14:05:04.566-04:00I've had this happen on the 10A and 10E a coup...I've had this happen on the 10A and 10E a couple times. Drivers just seem to randomly pick which stops to use or which route they want to take. Thankfully, we seem to have regular drivers and not the neverending cycle of newbies anymore.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13424566622256302510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689506078297112665.post-30001519340631084732009-06-08T13:49:16.356-04:002009-06-08T13:49:16.356-04:00Perhaps this explains why DC is the fittest city i...Perhaps this explains why DC is the fittest city in the country!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689506078297112665.post-34996652509796324132009-06-08T13:38:20.925-04:002009-06-08T13:38:20.925-04:00As a regular occurrence on southbound 7C, we the p...As a regular occurrence on southbound 7C, we the passengers, end up telling the clueless novice driver where to go.
