Not to mention JFK, getting stuck on Belt pkwy and literally being able to see your plane, that you missed, taking off.

If you legitimately think this man is in mental health crisis, calling the DC Department of Behavioral Health Access HelpLine at (888) 793-4357 can help connect him with mental health services 24x7. It’s probably a better solution than going on Reddit and recommending “running.”

They have all the authority of an on-duty police officer, they just aren’t billing the department for their time.

Chicago has 10% more riders annually, and two of its lines (red and blue) are 24/7. Yes there are swaths of transit deserts on the south and west sides, but one can say the same for all public transit systems in the USA. Chicago is also much, much bigger geographically.

And you’re still being condescending to me instead of actually explaining your point, which includes how you know the best tactics for trafficking awareness.
Thank you, you too

Cheapest DC fare is $2, but it goes up to $6, while the T is always $2.40. Advantages of the two layouts and neighborhood discussions are probably too complex for a Reddit comment. DC itself is much smaller than Greater Boston, so I think it really depends. Both have green lines that go to baseball, at least. 😄

I personally like Little Coco’s in Petworth. Though that might be colored by the fact that it is just down the street from me.

You were driving from Tennessee to Atlanta to fly somewhere? 😯 My sympathies!

Amazing. MPD constantly says they don’t have enough officers to cover areas, but when you’re willing to pay the OT, all of a sudden they got you covered. $100/hour to sit in your cop suv and play candy crush? Not too shabby. Also fun fact! The BID is responsible for all the OT from any activity these police are involved in. Make an arrest? Four more hours of OT to take the person in and do the paperwork. Goes to trial? Paying to meet the prosecutors and testify? On the BID.

You’re still missing the entire point of my original comment. Anyway, have a good day.

Boston residents definitely love the T. However, as someone who has lived in both Boston and DC, the metro is much cleaner, faster, and overall more efficient.

I think even the Amtrak regional is faster than driving (Acela blows driving out of the water). When driving, It's very difficult to avoid DC and NYC traffic, which can easily tack on 30-60 min (at a minimum). It's at least a 3.5 hour drive without traffic but you have to be speeding to accomplish this.

It’s so far out! Getting to the beltway is rough, past it? That is a real trek! Mentally if I’m going that far, might as well go Baltimore or something.

I tried it frim IAD to Alexandria and regretted it. Takes way too long after a long flight. Not to mention a group of teenagers started screaming and physically fighting.

Nope! Crowds weren’t too crazy on weekdays. On Sunday it was nuts though!! Couldn’t even really get much as the crowds were so intense. Still amazing to see.
This shot is from Tuesday.

They’ll have all the normal authority- the BID is contracting with the department for people to work off-duty overtime.

Lifetime DC resident, current Boston college student, and transit fan: WMATA is (at the moment) leagues better than the MBTA. Even when the T is functioning (which it isn’t right now, think SafeTrack era level of fucked up) it doesn’t go nearly as far out (which some see as a plus) and isn’t as convenient, clean, and comfortable as Metro. Sure, they have more robust commuter rail, but the headways are way worse, fares are more expensive, and it’s generally just more of a hassle. Coming back to DC is such a breath of fresh air.
