If you haven’t heard, Metro was ranked as the number one public transit system in the country on a list that clearly didn’t take into account important things like safety. SmartAsset, which released the list, did calculate the average commute time for transit users in 136 cities and, somehow, the District still came out on top. That being said, here are your Metro delays for the weekend that are happening on all six lines.
While you’re waiting for the train, take a virtual tour of Metro’s new security operations control center. And if your service doesn’t allow it, you may soon have better underground connectivity.
