MD drivers always require a lot distance because that kind of crazy and unpredictable is how you end up dead.

This proves my point. Some active members of the sub could be great at spotting these fake temp tags and shit. The city needs y’all.

They already do this at a lot of stations. Gallery Place comes to mind.

For the love of god change the escalators at Takoma so that 2 are going down toward the exit and 1 is going up to the platform. It is brutal during the PM rush hour when a million people are all getting off a train and filing onto just one escalator.

That's a good point. During peak office rush hour if people had the right timing cadence right behind each other, fare gate wouldn't even need to close until after a good number people passed thru

Incorrect. Nearly all wheel thefts in dc are Hondas and Toyotas.

So you’re telling me rural areas automatically have low graduation rates?

I’m convinced the owner is in here and following posts about their car. Explains why the old temp tag came off the same day I posted about it.

No, it was yet another unfinished pandemic project. I did get all of the Virginia stations (except the new silver line) and most of the downtown core. I was mostly relying on Google maps/streetview to locate things. Metro has surprisingly good streetviews of most stations with 360 camera shots "walking" through the station uploaded by Metro.

This dude is so careless with the tape... Reminds me of the wild drivers in PG County, the registrations stickers on their license plate are placed anywhere on the plate but where they belong. If you see a collage of annual stickers on a MD plate, keep your distance.

The new gate arms swing faster, which ironically makes them slower. The old gates would allow like 4-5 people through without closing-reopening if they tapped fast enough. I don't think I've see that on the new gates, though it's possible it's because the ridership at my exit station has gone down a bit, more people are paying by app and lots of people just hop the gate.

We need a Texas style bounty policy here. Maybe even authorize DC gov to impound vehicles with outstanding tickets that total more than the KBB value of the vehicle being ticketed.

I used to think the SAME thing. Until yesterday. I was waiting at a red light when a car came screeching to a halt. The young driver had not been paying attention, drove past the red light, and screeched to a stop in the middle of a busy intersection. As I looked over, I noticed a temporary tag.
I gave the driver the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps he was distracted. Maybe he had a long day. The light turned green, I glanced over at the car, and saw four teens in the car. The passenger driver started waving his arm my way and looked over at my car (I thought he might be dancing?).
I did not want to stare, so I looked forward again. Next thing I know, the car had moved all the way from the left lane to my lane. For your consideration, this was a three-lane road, and I was in the far-right lane. The temporary tag car had moved all the way from the left lane to my far-right lane. I tapped my brakes to ensure that I did not run into their car, and they speed off.
Say they hit me, with those fake temporary tags, I would have no insurance claim as they would have speed off.

The fact that these videos are big on TikTok is also old news, this has been a thing for a few weeks at least.

It’s all part of the pall park experience. If you’re winning, you can get away with overcharging. A shitty team where it’s too expensive to get a second beer, why show up?
