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

There are easily accessible programs to help aging drivers maintain their skills, or recognize when they need to give up their cars.

My philosophy is: Everybody needs to look out for everybody else.

SafeTrack - I keep saying this - is not going to fix Metro. It's a speeded up track work program, compressing three years of already planned work on the track bed into about a year.

Back in 2011, when the weekend maintenance disruptions got more aggressive, we were told that the work on weekends and at night and midday would be enough to get the system back to a state of good repair.

Drivers tend to look for other drivers, rather than for pedestrians or cyclists.

I don't see traffic fines as a substitute for a commuter tax.
