Metro shows no signs of being able to make its trains run on time. This occurs during single-tracking and it occurs during normal rush hour service.

When I look at the faces of turning drivers, I mostly see them looking in the direction of oncoming motorists rather than at the people they're about to turn into.

That's the original problem from which the escalator mess stems. There's just too many of them.

Tolling plan is a wonderful opportunity for political pandering, and some candidates are taking full advantage of it.

Many Saturday mornings, I take 495 from Fairfax to Maryland in the morning, and I'm astonished by the speed of many of the drivers. Even when I drive 70 mph, I'm being passed by people driving 80-90+ at times.

Nobody likes paying tolls. It's difficult to explain the concept of dynamic tolling, where the price varies to maintain the flow of traffic. And it's difficult to explain why highway widenings don't wind up helping commuters in the long run.

I don't know of any source for online maps showing the platform, stairs, escalators, elevators, mezzanines and other station details.
