Metro, built in the late 20th century, is the most escalator-dependent system in the world.

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

Many police officers watch for vehicles without headlights because it's a telltale of a drunk driver.

If the Metro general manager, Paul Wiedefeld, says those extra hours for maintenance are necessary to help fix the system and make it safer, then that gets top priority.

The cars themselves are getting smarter and will be increasingly able to assist drivers - to the point where the cars will be completely automated.

It would be helpful to be able to see the layout and for the maps to label what exits to use to get to nearby sites/buildings so you aren't wandering the station trying to read the signs in the crowds.

I don't like the midnight closing on weekends. It's one thing to tell people they have to drive to Jiffy Lube Live in the outer suburbs.
