Update on Metro Outages, Pt. II

We've been following the massive systems outages at WMATA all day, and now Metro says that its public address system is again up and running. Debit card transactions, credit card purchases of more than $20, NextBus, SmartBenefits and the e-alert system are all still not functioning, however. We'll be keeping an eye on the situation as the evening commute rapidly approaches.

Dear John Catoe,

Don't let the fare gate hit you on your way out.

You suck,

Metro Customers Everywhere.

Alright,

I can understand the tracks being messed up because of how old they are and how they didn't take time to fix them. I can take the trains being messed up for the same reason. Hell I can understand crap just fallin off the trains (brake shoes....etc), escalators not working, bus breakdowns, elevators not working shortly after working and just plain lazy angry metro people.

But goodness the effin electronic and digital/analog system just plain goin out? WTF are they doin? Are they trying to do less than nothing cuz thats a hell of a job

The P.A. system is up and running? I guess that means the totally unintelligible mumbling will continue as usual.
