i was on those a month ago. i know i rode red line at some point. hm.

I'm pretty sure it's up to 6 deaths now. Sad.

That sucks, but the DC Metro is easily the coolest and most useful thing in history. At least, it's the most useful mass transit I've ever used, and I haven't used much. You basically don't need a car, at all.

That says a lot BH, the Tube in london is pretty great too, you're never more than a walk away froma station.
this story is sad though. few years ago they'd have been blaming al queda no doubt.

I've used the DC metro a lot, but both New York and Chicago beat it for convenience. BART in the Bay Area is on par with DC Metro, Boston is a bit better.

BART doesn't serve the suburbs very well.

Neither does the DC Metro.

It's hard to serve the suburbs very well, too sprawling. I've spent a lot of time in Brussels. They have a great public transportation system for the city, and they are a bit bigger than San Francisco. But they don't serve the suburbs very well either.

God did this to punish the nation for Obama's recent signings on gay rights.

lol...accidents and catastrophes, such joys of tax-payer funded public transport!

oh this guy's back
