If they want to save it, they'll have to push their elected officials and WMATA officials very hard.Fixing trains and ROW while the ststem is operating is more expensive than doing it when it's shut down, and providing less time to do it with no trains running is bad news for a system that has had maintenance snafus. Metrorail's board and management don't want to sacrifice the State of Good Repair, so this cutback may go through unless more operating $$$ support is found. A properly running system in good physical shape, that closes at midnight, is far better than one run to 3AM where maintenance gets deferred. |
