Well, last couple of days, my commute and my day to day life hasn’t been affected by Metro, or traffic too much. But by the weather man. I’m usually not one of the people that busts on the weather man trying to predict mother and nature. I think that’s apretty complex, being to predict but I changed my weekend plans this weekend because they called for rain on Saturday and easing up on Sunday. Saturday, what a beautiful day, nice warm, sunny.
Friday, the weather affected the commute because it was a little more rain than I think most people expected and people in the DC area can’t seem to realize that rain can also make the roads slicker, it doesn’t have to be snowing.

Interesting article about the usage levels of Metro stations. No surprise that Farragut North is third on the list in usage. Thankfully my commute no longer includes the top two stations.
Interesting comments as well on how to increase ridership in the underutilized stations. Rob Goodspeed makes some good point in the article and his responses as well. Its going to take local jurisdictions to motivate higher usage of those little used stations. Until then those of us who ride the busier stations, and tax payers, will subsidize those stations with little usge
Either Metro was on the ball and repaired whatever was causing the huge leak on The Farragut North platform, or the source of water ran out. Either way I was glad that it did not cause any delays on the Red Line this morning.
