I love having the privilege of being able to work from home most days. However, this week we have a big in-person meeting in our office that I have to attend. I'm excited about the meeting itself, but it also means I have to commute in every day. It's only 7 miles away, but it's a 45 minute drive by car, an hour by Metro, or an hour and a half by bike. Maybe I'll do all three throughout the week!
@notthatready I had never biked to Stadium-Armory but that was a good call! Nice longish ride along the Anacostia River Trail, which runs not too far away from my house. Even got to see the sunrise along my ride!
#WMATA announces from Dec. 18th it'll shut down three downtown #DC Metro Red Line stations for a two-week construction project "to perform critical safety repairs to the tunnel and track infrastructure, upgrade signal and communications systems and install new platform edge lights." https://www.wmata.com/about/news/Red-Line-Construction.cfm
Rode the bus with Isaac to take him to daycare this morning. For the 2nd time this week, the fare box wasn’t working, so we were both technically scofflaws, evading fare and depriving #wmata of income.
I have seen that the Adam Tuss’ & Tom Sherwood’s of the world are still very focused on turnstile jumping for WMATA rail, helping that remain a big story on social media. Any outrage from them about bus stuff? Nah—wealthy white folks from MoCo & Fairfax don’t see that stuff, so it doesn’t exist.
Also, looking at these faregates, isn’t the solution for those looking to sneak through quickly to just crawl underneath? That’s a lot of room below the plexiglass. #WMATA#DC
@w7voa Said it elsewhere and will say it here: kids are going to do numbers on TikTok sliding, gliding, flying through that spot. If folks can ride the roof of the X2, tow themselves behind it, they can surf through this. #wmata
Does it drive anyone else insane that WMATA.com doesn’t have a simple fare calculator page where you can put in two stations and it tells you the fare? Instead you need to go to rider guide>stations then click your station then scroll down and click metrorail fares. It’s unfriendly as hell. #wmata
