Yet another example. I came yesterday from Turkey, I landed on Dulles Airport, I took the Washington Flyer Coach to West Falls Church metro station. I took the Orange line and I got off at the Rosslyn station to switch to Blue Line.
It`s around 5pm. It`s considered “rush hour” and we are charged more for that… And all we want is service from WMATA for that money. Nothing else…
18 minutes… I waited 18 minutes for a freaking fucking Blue line. We had, 3 Orange line trains, 1 NO PASSENGER train (meaning empty), and at the end of the 18th minute, the blue line arrives… The train has only 4 cars! It`s packed. There is NO WAY anyone can get in or out! Keep in mind that, I`ve been traveling since 5 am GMT+2…
I looked at the next 3 trains. 2 Orange and a blue line in the next 11 minutes… I said Fuck it, I`m taking a cab… Not worth waiting 30 mins for a blue line in a heavily urine smelling metro station!
That`s why I`m riding to work instead of taking the most stupid metro in the world. Rain or Shine…
