Metro has been Verizon’s bitch for as long as I have known.  I wonder if the following means that the DC WMATA is opening up the cell phone network to other networks — let me know if that is what it means. There’s been talk of this for a while, but WMATA announced a little more of a timeline ...

Remember this post: Orange Line? Once again: Fuck The Orange Line AND Fuck Rosslyn Metro Station. That is all....

Right now I’m going to say I’d rather get up late, walk to my TV or go to a watch party, and enjoy the ceremony. To me it looks like a hassle to even try and get into town. Those were the words I wrote in my last post, as I decided at the time I wouldn’t try to go on the mall. However some...

So after a sick day and a little cheer about the new/changed 43/42 route, I get to my “office station” to see this. All 3 escalators at the non-stadium side of Navy Yard have been out for a few weeks now. At first, they put up the pre-printed yellow vinyl repair sign on the middle escala...

I thought I was seeing things or that the driver didn’t turn on the sign properly the other day when I saw a 43 bus headed down Columbia Road, but apparently not. According to this press release, the main difference between 42 and 43 will be the 43 going under Dupont Circle on its way downtown...

I love public transit and I love subways, and I really love these cool t-shirts by What's My Stop for the El in Chicago. Someone should do something similar here! And then you can buy me some.

Who’d have guessed that anywhere on the list of places people would want to pay to have sex would be the Dupont Metro Station. Yeah, that’s what I thought. No one. However, that’s what recently arrested Metro employees were hoping for. Interestingly enough, it was the station manag...

Wow. I don't think I've ever been happier to have Fridays off than I am today, because apparently the entire city has up and done shit the bed. Today is making the earlier-in-the-week train derailment look like a cakewalk, at least as cakewalks had been defined in the years before Rumsfeld. Have you...

A Pepco substation serving a good portion of DC’s downtown business district failed at 7:30 this morning, leaving 10,000 businesses in the downtown area without power, and Metrorail stations McPherson Square (Orange/Blue), Farragut West (Orange/Blue), Farragut North (Red) and Dupont Circle (Re...

The news says: “Gas is so expensive!” My wallet says: “Gas is so expensive!” So I says: “Today I shall take metro!” Normal commute time: 2 hrs Today’s commute time: 5 hrs How much longer than normal was my commute? 250%. How much do I hate WMATA, the local p...
