Catoe tried, with what I think was a good faith effort to turn things around. Getting the bus side more visibility and better service was a great idea and that momentum should be kept. But there is something rotten in the state of WMATA, and it would take a superhuman to clean it up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689506078297112665.post-11962348268241165162010-01-14T15:26:04.177-05:002010-01-14T15:26:04.177-05:00if you think catoe influenced wmata, then i guess ...if you think catoe influenced wmata, then i guess you think the president influences the economy.riuippnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689506078297112665.post-63384258638264034642010-01-14T15:12:35.090-05:002010-01-14T15:12:35.090-05:00I cannot help but wonder WHY the dickens would thi...I cannot help but wonder WHY the dickens would this man meet with those who know best what is wrong (and desire most the hopes for improvements), and the next day he resigns? Is it that he was shell-shocked at reality or is he yanking our chains instead? geez louise.. I read the post about the meeting and grew hopeful. Within hours, back to reality. No hope. No improvements.

At this point, only someone from another galaxy can help us. I, too, find the timing rather odd. I also find it won't help or hurt much except give Metro more excuses for delaying improvements (we are still looking... we are still training... we are reorganizing...).<br /><br />Good luck Mr. Cato.
