Yet another example. I came yesterday from Turkey, I landed on Dulles Airport, I took the Washington Flyer Coach to West Falls Church metro station. I took the Orange line and I got off at the Rosslyn station to switch to Blue Line.
It's around 5pm. It's considered "rush hour" and we are charged more for that... And all we want is service from WMATA for that money. Nothing else...
18 minutes... I waited 18 minutes for a freaking fucking Blue line. We had, 3 Orange line trains, 1 NO PASSENGER train (meaning empty), and at the end of the 18th minute, the blue line arrives... The train has only 4 cars! It's packed. There is NO WAY anyone can get in or out! Keep in mind that, I've been traveling since 5 am GMT+2...
I looked at the next 3 trains. 2 Orange and a blue line in the next 11 minutes... I said Fuck it, I'm taking a cab... Not worth waiting 30 mins for a blue line in a heavily urine smelling metro station!
That's why I'm riding to work instead of taking the most stupid metro in the world. Rain or Shine...
