Everyone’s a critic about Metro. And some have made it an art form.

Metro made its riders very excited in October when a set of three new escalators opened at the south entrance to the Dupont Circle station. But 20 outages in 40 days suggests otherwise.

The new escalators at the Dupont Circle Metro station shut down, but not because they’re damaged. Just a false fire alarm.

Commuters who depend on Metrorail began the week with a disjointed trip to work, with several lines experiencing lengthy delays and one busy station briefly closing altogether.

For users of the Foggy Bottom Metro station, yesterday was a big day — after months of commuter backups and having to climb immobilized escalators, the station’s third escalator was re-opened after a full replacement.
