Your question is a reasonable one.If it's temporary and you're at work and you don't finish before the train stops running, you can take the bus or you can call your spouse to come get you, or you can spend $$$ on a taxi, or you can flop down on the office couch. If you're at home, you can choose to bring your car if you know you're staying out past the last train. There were drops in ridership when train services have been cut back, though obviously not total. We'll see. Maybe the counties will cough up the money. I think WMATA needs more dedicated revenue streams. Yeah right, you could say. Suburban legislators are great at dreaming up new routes but lousy at paying to keep people working to run the routes. You can't get mileage out of a plaque that says "Senator Charles Jones late-night train operator program." |
