Metro Today: Busy, But No Disruptions Reported

On the peak Saturday of the Cherry Blossom Festival -- one of the historically busier days on the calendar for our venerable Metro -- it's obviously going to be quite crowded on trains and in platforms. But as the twilight of this morning's activities arrives, and the city prepares for this evening's sports-related subway throngs by engaging in a mass pillow fight, it's encouraging that the Metro website is currently reporting no official disruptions in rail service. With a tip of the cap to reader InMasonicShadows, Unsuck DC Metro put together a twittercap of this morning's biggest problem: incredibly long lines to enter suburban Metro stations. All things considered, if that's the biggest issue with Metro today, then there's not too much to complain about. (Now let's collectively find some wood, and get knockin'.)

The entire southwest corner of 12th and Independence was a mass of people waiting in line for the escalators. So glad I was going to green/yellow at L'Enfant.

A little after 5pm yesterday I gave up on ever being able to get an Orange line train to Vienna and decided to walk home instead. Luckily I live between Courthouse and Clarendon so it isn't a bad walk at all, just a bit tiring after being down at the street festival for a few hours.
