REFORM WASHINGTON DC METRO TRANSIT

REFORM WASHINGTON DC METRO TRANSIT

The Issue

Washington DC Metro Transit is unable to meet the standards that its commuters have. DC Metro's fares are among the highest in the nation and has been labeled as one of the worst metro systems. Day after day trains continue to be delayed. Trains are unable to directly travel from one station to the next without stopping several times due to delayed trains. DC Metro closes down late at night/early morning, yet they decide to do track work during the day, causing major headaches for thousands of commuters. Other area's metro systems do track work or any construction during the late night period, when the least amount of people are traveling. What makes things worse is that DC Metro is seriously considering raising fares for commuters. It is time DC Metro knows that major reforms are needed before they even consider raising a penny on our fares. End the delays and the constant head aches commuters have. Reform DC Metro!
