This transportation system is just a joke. Just a place for niggers to get jobs and be overpaid and not have any responsibility whatsoever. I would rather walk over hot coals barefoot than get on the "Nigger Hauler".

Hopefully after retards like you get run over

Metro will survive for a long time. Just look at FCPS, no real changes and it just gets worse. That's government for you. Metro will bring so many criminals to Tysons that it will start to look like Culmore.

I am more concerned about the proliferation of stupid people, which seem to be in abundance here.

Wiedefeld is making positive improvements already. He's been on the job less than a year and these things take time. I don't think there is much he can immediately do about an infrastructure put in place before his time.

Hiring only lazy niggers isn't going to work. They'll have to hire some productive people if they want to keep Metro operating.

Corruption in Metro runs deep, and it's true yet sad that the black community is behind much of it.

Cleaning house is difficult because of the political connections between the corrupt and the politicians.

Case in point: After every incident you can see Congressman Gerry Connolly on TV telling the world that "someone" should be fired. Yet in 16 years he has had zero impact on making things better.

Yeah, well the question is whether its the connections that keep people from being fired or Connolly's own ineptitude. Could go either way with that one.

with the amount of federal government workers only growing in DC, Md and Va Metro will most likely get an over haul at some point most likely brand new cars, brand new electrical infrastructure. 700,000 people ride the train daily that number could double in under 20 years and probably will. Somebody will pay for it all and it will get done. Until then its a freaking death trap. The air is toxic at most underground stations let alone all the old high voltage wiring thats slowly smoldering away releasing toxic chemicals etc.

I have never once seen a competent Metro rail work crew work on anything. Most of the time a work crew will go to what needs work be it an escalator or some wiring beneath the floor they will put their tools there open up the floor expose the wiring and then just walk away for 3 or 4 hours and hang out at the 7/11 next to the station. Seen this shit for myself.

When I see a crew actually working on something its like 6 or 7 guys 1 or 2 of whom are actually working the rest are just standing there joking around with eachother or on their cell phones.

Now that I think about it I do not believe I have ever seen a white Metro rail employee. Theres the Metro police theres white guys there but they actually fall under the direction of local authorities. I occasionally see white guys driving a Metro Bus but never Metro rail. I remember many times getting to Huntington and the dude in the glass walled kiosk/office at the gate is stone cold asleep.

Swore off the train. Not worth the risk anymore. Whenever I need to go to NW Ill eat the traffic and drive

Push one onto the tracks today. You can never kill off enough of these transit-hating right-wing assholes. Maybe kick them in the balls before you give them that final shove though.

To the surprise on no one, they fired one of the few remaining whiteys. Chief Safety Officer Lou Brown "resigned" today.

A white guy I grew up with worked for Metro. He's about the laziest, least motivated human I ever knew. Fat fuck worked there for 10 years or so and then claimed disability.

Metro was at one point very clean, safe, and a pleasure to ride. Now you take your life in hand whenever you ride.

Nope - No more.

The usual fumblefuck stupid shit from braindead right-wingers. These numbnuts assfucks can't get anything right.

So we should privatize the school system like they tried with Metro right?

More fires - More shutdowns - When will this end?

Things will improve when we start giving them enough money to run the system properly. This ain't rocket science. How can you Metro critics be so dumb as not to see the problem? You can't drive a Cadillac for the price of a Yugo. The issues at Metro are YOUR fault, not theirs.

You may not be able to drive an expensive car for the price of a cheap one. However properly maintained that cheap car can get you where you need to go, just like a Cadillac. We may not be giving Metro enough money to run properly. For what we do give them though it should run far better than it currently does. For that the blame lies squarely on Metro employees, management and the Metro Board.

Any time you have that many niggers behind the functioning of something, it's going to be fucked up. Unfortunately for the public, they are just now starting to see the tip of how fucked it really is behind the scenes.

A decade ago, you might get a ticket for eating on the metro. Today, niggers leave chicken bones on the seat when they are done eating. And they dare you to even look at them while they are vacuuming that last thigh bone with their giant lips - because thats a hate crime.

Ten more years and the rail will resemble something from the deepest reaches of India or Bangladesh.

For now, it does a good enough job of hauling ghetto niggers to Tysons to steal shit.

You'd have a great point if private schools were worse than public schools. Which, they aren't. Not even close.

Another one of your jackass posts, Bill. You don't know jack-shit about Metro financing or operations. You know none of the managers and make dumb-ass knee-jerk assumptions about Metro employees. You are just some disinformed, man-in-the-street, ass-clown here.

Actually, when performance is adjusted for the income and education levels of parents, public school do out-perform private schools.

But as always, you are far too fucking stupid to have any sort of grip on the reality of things.

You'll wait a long fucking time, as you are just a worthless, unintelligent asshole who is too feeble to go ggogle for himself. Public schools do better with students of the backgrounds that private schools limit themselves to. That's the private sector for you. Reliably inferior in oh, so many ways.

Like a stopped clock even you can manage to occasionally be right. You are correct that I do not have significant inside information on Metro financing or operations. I am relying on publically available information. Fortunately in the case of Metro there is a huge amount of that available. Since you posted your rant there have been several negative articles about Metro in the Post. This is on top of a large number of articles written over the years in various publications, a large number of publically available reports issued by Metro itself, plus stories being told by riders and Metro employees. All of this information points to the same conclusion, and even Dr. Gridlock has moved to a more neutral tone when it comes to Metro.

Any organization with that many low-IQ liberal savages on payroll is going to have troubles. More money won't help - it'll simply be wasted by the obamabots on more overpaid do-nothings.

Yo, dumbfuck. It's private schools that cherry pick. They seek out and preferentially admit kids whose parents are wealthier and better educated than most. It's just what they do. It has meanwhile long been known that the income and education levels of a child's parents are the best predictors of his or her academic performance in any school setting. When you look at groups of public school students who have the same socio-economic status as the kids in private schools, it is public schools that do a slightly better job. Deal with it.

Grow up, Bill. You are playing follow-the leader. It's a little baby's game. Worse than that when the leaders you choose to follow are themselves just babbling journalists and other incompetent morons. Try digging into the actual history of Metro's funding, oversight, and operations. What you will find is that we as a region have been trying to skimp and skate on Metro for years. Then we are supposed to be surprised when everything doesn't go well? There is a saying in emergency medicine that a patient isn't dead until he is WARM and dead. See if you can appreciate the point in that.

The fucking system is shot. Better to get a shovel, and fill it in.

There is nothing wrong with Metro that ten years worth of proper funding and maintenance wouldn't have prevented. You cheap-ass, right-wing, tax-hating assholes are the ones to blame here. You all can just go fuck yourselves. Bunch of useless, ignorant douchebags at best. Now get out of the way and let the adults get to work here.

It's not the Democrat's fault, nor is it the Republican's fault that WAMTA sucks. The fault lays upon years of weak and potentially fraudulent (mis)management working in cahoots with an overtly strong union. Here's one example of WAMTA's bullshit.

When an orgainization acts so carelessly, it's hard to give them more.

Metro would be more successful if they removed the tracks and replaced them with roadway. Make a giant toll road. Add parking garages above ground and underground. That would be awesome.

Rough day at work buddy? Anyhow, let's say WAMTA gets a 20% increase in funding tomorrow, how are "the adults" going to fix the problems? Why does the increase in funding have to come from taxes? Why can't it come from fare increases, reduced schedules, and pro-rated fares for the 4th of July and to/from Sport all games for example.

Maybe you should have been listening instead of listing. Perhaps then you would have known that when adjusted for levels of parental education and income, public schools slightly outperform private schools. Keep sending those checks off to Saint Whatever-It-Is though. I'm sure they need the money more than you do.

I realize that as the chief apologist and cheerleeder it is difficult for you to admit the problem extends beyond money, but even Metro's own information does not support you. The recently released McKinsey report which Metro commissioned takes aim at a number of Metro problems, including what it determined to be the ill advised priority placed on expansion. When discussing maintenance it puts blame on Metro practices. Also while the report discusses financial issues it properly points out that these are to a significant degree due to declining revenues from operations which in tern are tied to Metro's long term operations problems. Even Metro's current GM (who I respect) has stated "The safety culture at Metro is not integrated with operations nor well-rooted at all levels." and "We have gone from crisis to crisis. We deal with things one-off. That cannot continue."

You can continue to bury your head in the sand and chant your mantra "With more money it will all be better". However without changes in the Metro culture, more money may simply end up making it all more expensive.

Where's that more taxes asshole?

"Throughout Metro’s 40-year history, the National Transportation Safety Board has repeatedly raised questions about the agency’s safety culture that have not been adequately addressed, its three-jurisdiction governance model has proven “uniquely dysfunctional” and the federal agency that sought safety oversight of the transit agency-- FTA-- has made recommendations that are “non-enforceable.”"

What the fuck did they do with the last 10 years of funding?

That money was spent paying salaries and buying the new cars necessary to keep the people moving. There wasn't much left afterwards.

They should let the Wegmans ownership take control of Metro for a few years. They can hire and fire as necessary. Imagine all the happy, smiling, white faces greeting you each morning as you got on their clean, well-run, on-time trains!

Taking and publishing pictures of people on their hard earned breaks is beyond the pale. And some of those I recognize as being taken after people were working double shifts because of snow storms. And all on personal break time. How dare you? Did you have permission to publish those people's images?

Break time.
Attachments:

Metro has had its problems, no one can deny that. It does have new leadership, though, so please suspend judgment and reassess in a year. If the new director gets maintenance going in the right direction and shows some ability to get value out of present funding, rather than getting all teary about how it's not enough, he may have the credibility necessary to get some increased funding from the various constituencies Metro serves. Then we may start to see real improvement. Give him a chance.

If this is the case then honestly, based on what I have experienced when I ride Metro, most of the people were overpaid. Highly overpaid.

I really hope somebody can send all those pics of the Metro workers to management. Lazy POS's. They need to see this. I don't take the metro often but its always a stressful experience. Frequently, at least a few card machines are not working and who thought it was a good idea to give change in the form of "dollar" coins when you can re-use them in the card machines!!!!

"Hiring only lazy niggers isn't going to work. They'll have to hire some productive people if they want to keep Metro operating..." This says it all.

To be fair, most, if not all of these photos are fairly old and easily found on the series of tubes. The photos simply demonstrate just how fucked Metro has become and the continued lack of concern shown by WMATA employees. Some people have hope in the new WMATA GM, but unless he can fix the culture, Metro will continue to be dysfunctional.

Here's a link about the photos of Metro employees sleeping on the job. It states that WMATA has identified two station managers and is looking into the allegations. I have no idea if action was taken, but my guess is that nothing became of the photos. Typical Metro.
