WMATA picks new 'interim GM'; Metro TV documentary

WMATA logo

The WMATA board has picked another interim general manager to replace the departing Dan Tangherlini. Jack Requa is currently the chief operating officer for bus.

Tangherlini did not seem to me to be a likely interim general manager, as he was so young and did not work for the agency when he was appointed (though he was an alternate on the board.) Sure enough, the board did not seem to truly start seeking a replacement while Tangherlini held the post, instead half-hoping that Tangherlini would take the top job permanently. Requa on the other hand is what I would expect for a true interim man--an experienced person who already works at the agency who can make sure the place doesn't burn down until a permanent GM is found.

TV documentary: PBS affiliate WETA tells us they will have a TV documentary about Metro to kick off a new series. It'll air Thursday, November 2 at 8:00pm.
