When did riding metrorail turn into such a huge freaking disaster?

I used to ride all the time from Virginia to Maryland back to Virginia the end of one line back to the other with no problems. I would never dream of doing that now. When did it all go downhill?

Metro went broke paying nogs $160K a year to stand around stations and take naps in kiosks. Instead of reinvesting in equipment, they gave it all to the nogs who work there.

The Metro trains and buses are operated by typical government-style workers.

I grew up in America, not France or China.

I'll continue driving my car, thank you. Everywhere I go.

And I'm making sure my 18-year old never has to use public transit. He'll grow up like me, never relying on the government for any of this crap.

Al Gore can go to Hell.

99.9863333% of all Metrorail passengers have been transported safely by metrorail since it opened. It is far safer than car travel or foot travel. Metrorail is one of the safest modes of transportation in the history of the world.

Any mode of transportation is safe when it's non-operational.

At least his point is logical.

Also, Metro has the best people on board, guaranteeing you free of crime and accident-causers.

I cant tell if that employee is asleep or in bliss rubbing his junk. Either way, he's overpaid. He looks like a $120K a year guy.

Metro Center is currently closed due to some sort of fire department issue.

Go easy on the car then. I'd hate to see how your 18 year old handles daddy's lexus offroad. and I guess your are home schooling your child as well. Oh and I'm sure you are buying all your food from non subsidized farms... Don't call the police or fire department either.

Since you don't want to suck at the teat of the goverment.

Just sayin'

I would say the decline hit in the 1990s, before they even opened the Springfield station. It was probably tied initially to the budget problems DC was having. The decline started picking up speed though when Metro supposedly started trying to fix things, and realized that it could use that fix up as an excuse for declining qualities of service.

What does Springfield have to do with this? Another out of town hater here? Too many people from the boondocks of VA in this board. Metro has been in the DC area much further back. Problem is when racism started to take place on Metro's hiring. Google metro hires only black workers. They need to diversify more.

It is true that the nig-nogs have ruined Metro the way they ruin everything else. The team of highly specialized engineers that designed and built Metro were white, because, quite obviously, nig-nogs are utterly incapable of such sophisticated thinking. But, and this has already been observed, nig-nogs are perfectly capable of napping in the kiosks and being rude, surly and inattentive to the customers. Blacks ruin everything they touch. Midas in reverse, you might say.

Just setting out the timeline, showing the system was starting to come apart even before the original system was completed.

If you're white don't even waste your time applying for a job with METRO
unless it's senior management, accounting, or engineering. You will not
be hired.
