Catch a play about D.C.'s 70 bus
A new theater company is staging a play about D.C.'s 70 bus. I see this bus all the time as it travels between my home in Silver Spring and my office near Chinatown. The buses are very frequent and are often packed.
I will see the play but to be honest I will catch the Red Line rather than the 70 home afterward. The 70 from Chinatown to Silver Spring takes about an hour! Train is more like fifteen minutes. However, relief is on the way for the patient 70 riders: soon the 7th Street-Georgia Avenue corridor will get a new limited stop service, the 79. Metro hopes the new service will bring in new riders as well as providing existing 70 riders with faster service.
In other Metro news: tonight at 6:30, the Riders Advisory Council will have a meeting on the fiscal year 2008 budget. I know this seems early to be talking about 2008, but key decisions on that year's budget are being made now because agency officials are already preparing key documents that will go to the board of directors.
