Washington Metro's economy drive

Permalink | 07/06/10 | Categories: Customer, Railways, Safety/Security | by: A Sharp English (UK)

I recently made what should have been a short ride on Washington's metro, involving one change of train.

The short ride became a long one, because of the 24 minutes I spent waiting for trains - 14 minutes for a Blue Line train at Pentagon Centre and ten minutes for the Orange Line at Rosslyn.

Twelve minute intervals between trains, introduced as an economy measure, are clearly not unusual: allow plenty of time if you are travelling on WMATA!

I also really noticed how dark the stations are - lighting too has been cut back.
