I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing it's because the average exit fare is less than the credit card fees

My kid goes to a dcps school and it's really amazing. We have some great schools in the city, his school is ranked 8 out of 10 in great schools.

I'm confused

How do you think your anecdotal evidence helps describe the issue?

Not everybody has studied criminal justice and knows how to solve crime or is politically literate enough to know who’s policy will actually lower crime, but that doesn’t mean they dont have a right to want a low crime community

This right here. Only accepting cash has never made any sense to me

Signage for exits. Have clear maps of where each exit will take you.

L’Enfant would really benefit from this.

It's not that weird. A problem has been identified. The next step in the discussion should be a solution to that problem. We have not seen any posts about discussing what that solution is or could be to the identified problem.

lol

Attending Council meetings is completely pointless when the electeds don't listen to anyone but each other. I can name perhaps two that actually listen to their constituents. The rest openly DGAF.

>Are you just here to complain about crime and leave in the next two years cause you did your TDY in DC?

Look if you want to go down the road of how long we've all been here you're gonna end up dying mad. Some of us don't want to go back to what DC was like 20 years ago.

To reawaken Americans to the concept of community engagement, rather than just consumers?

According to the article, it's because people are "hanging around outside for no reason" which sounds so incredibly scary!!!!

The only incident cited is the shooting at Navy Yard metro, which was targeted and had nothing to do with the vewwy scawwy people standing around on the sidewalk.

One of these off-duty cops is going to start some shit for the wrong reasons and someone's ending up dead.

Louisiana was notorious for graduating kids that straight up couldn’t read

Thank you for your time and energy in helping out our community. The post is getting a good amount of down votes but I was just generally curious about this subject. We could always use more people like you in this world.

I can’t believe how dysfunctional the new fare gates are. This new bottlenecking exit/entrance issue is one Metro created directly 😢

As someone who has interacted with people who graduated from public schools in the south... that is a huge understatement.

Stop smoking on trains.

I don’t want to out myself but I am likely one of the people you’re referring to, and I have been consistent volunteering for many years in DC.

It’s important to volunteer and be active in your community. I would venture that most people concerned with crime are also the ones who are active.

I agree that we should not have to, but what should be done about it if we are not getting that degree of low crime? Should we vote for different politicians?

So let me get this straight. In order to get your "complain about crime" pass in DC, you need to... checks notes... volunteer to mentor at-risk kids? Once completed, you can complain all you want? It's just such a weird sentiment.

It'd be nice if your reporter included the pricing for the items (and beers) for 2023.

It would be great if the signs for when the next train were coming and the signs about elevator outages and line changes were different signs.

OP wants a poll tax/test but for posting on reddit.

In my opinion, there is not a minimum level of civic engagement one must accomplish in order to be deserving of a city with low crime

I do not have any specific goal. I'm curious about what people are doing or not doing to address a problem that the sub thinks is important.
