Washington Metrobus criticized

A panel of bus experts analyzed WMATA's Metrobus service. "Metrobus, which carries 500,000 passengers a day across the region, is a dilapidated system that suffers from weak supervision, old equipment and buses that travel in bunches, wrecking schedules and service, a panel of bus experts told Metro directors yesterday."

I found most interesting their recommendation to reduce the number of bus stops. Some routes downtown (such as the 80 and the X2) stop in every single block in some areas. I would think Metro could eliminate a few of the stops and people could walk an extra block. The buses would run a bit faster as a result.
