Poll: Close WMATA Rail on Weekends?

Take the poll here: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/P2SPQG5

Results:

“Yes – close it till it’s a reliable service again.” – 41

“No – as bad as it is leave it open.” – 59

Your comments:

“Close it down- most don’t even consider using metro on weekends unless they absolutely have to. Shut ‘er down and get the rebuilding done faster.”

“Are you serious?”

“There are plenty of people in the region who don’t have other options. A thirty-minute trip that takes two hours still gets you there SOMEHOW. Point of privilege to suggest otherwise.”

“Yes, but increase bus service”

“Only transport option in my area.”

“Personally I would want them to just close it. But for people who need it to get to work on weekends (as crappy as it is), I wouldn’t want to take that transportation option away from them.”

“Many of us do work/take classes/etc. on weekends! And I don’t really have a lot of optimism that it’ll become a reliable service again, so…”

“Maybe close down specific lines, but WMATA likely doesn’t have the resources to do meaningful work on the entire system at once – or not enough to justify closing the entire system”

Update via DCist:

Lynn Bowersox, WMATA’s Assistant General Manager for Customer Service, Communications and Marketing, responded to the DCist’s question in a statement: “Our Twitter feed is primarily TO PROVIDE Metro service information for riders. Violating reasonable boundaries of professional, civil discourse with profanity, personal attacks and inaccurate speculation is not a service to riders.”

ACT to WMATA: Don’t Close Stations for Major Events

Today Action Committee for Transit (ACT – @actfortransit) issued a press release asking WMATA to reschedule track work that’s set to close, among other stations, College Park station the same weekend of University of Maryland graduation.

ACT says “The College Park closing continues a pattern of Metro ignoring riders’ needs when it schedules weekend maintenance”.
