Tourists brave the Washington Metrorail
Well, there hasn't been much WMATA news over the past couple of weeks. No news is definitely good news: trains are running, buses are rolling, everyone's happy. There have been a minimum number of announcements such as this one:
"May I have your attention customers traveling on the Green Line in the direction of Branch Avenue. We are continuing to experience delays due to a train experiencing mechanical difficulties at Prince George's Plaza station. That train has been removed from the line. Trains are moving and will service your station momentarily. We apologize for the inconvenience and we thank you for your patience."
Whoa, you know you ride the trains too much when you can recite that from memory. Either that, or the trains are delayed too much...anyway, here is a fun story about tourists who get lost when they come to ride the Metro.

I've enjoyed moving into an apartment near the Woodley Park - Zoo stop. I too have already become frustrated with the families taking up both sides of the escalators.
I gotta call bullshit on this one. If I could figure out the farecard machines the first time I used them - as an 8 year old midwestern kid with no experience on public transit - then there's no excuse for anyone who knows how to read not being able to figure them out.
Tourists are annoying, but they can't possibly be that stupid.
The first and, as far as I know, only time I have been the ‘victim’ of racism was on the Washington Metro. « Look at whitee over there, completely loss » was the racial ‘slur’. Followed quickly by a helpful teenager trying to tell me where I should be.
