Since cell phones don't work in the subway how are you supposed to call security? You should use the emergency intercoms located on the platform.And speaking of stuff that doesn't make sense I've read on other forums that Metro now only sells TAP cards for monthly passes. You can still buy a paper pass at the other places where passes are sold, but it's just TAP at Union Station. What doesn't make sense is that the fare checkers don't yet have the machines to read whether or not you tapped in. Anyone in possession of a TAP card can now ride trains (not buses) for free whether or not the card has value. And even when fare checkers get the machines how are they going to be able to check everyone on the train? Now I see why Metro is saying that TAP won't work without fare gates. Somehow they paid Cubic millions of dollars to study TAP and then millions more to install it, yet weren't told until after it was installed that it won't work. Now they are paying millions of dollars for Cubic to upgrade TAP and install fare gates. For some reason this reminds me of the Simpson's monorail episode. ;) |
