WMATA riders to be delayed for the installation of advertising
Evening riders on D.C.'s Red Line will suffer delays every day for six straight weeks so that Metro can install advertising in the tunnels between Metro Center and Judiciary Square.
Here's an idea: Metro is CLOSED for five hours each night. Why not have prospective advertisers pay whatever money is needed in order to conduct all construction while the system is CLOSED? Riding at night already takes long enough. An additional fifteen minutes for the installation of something so trivial as advertising is an absolute disgrace.
This is part of a pattern of Metro management's complete disregard for the needs of late night riders. Awhile ago they cut night trains to two cars each, an outrageous move that led to predictably unbearable crowding and left-behind riders.
In other Metro news: interim general manager Dan Tangherlini appoints a team to improve MetroAccess service. The poor quality of the service has been shameful. Also, new natural gas buses are on the road in D.C. Care about clean air. Thanks, wayan.
