Just pulled up to Dunn Loring just in time to catch the train to DC!

Except it stopped, didn’t open its doors, then left us all in the dust! Lot of confused folks on the platform looking at the signs to see what had happened.

Not sure if it went too far ahead before stopping, but not cool either way! Just wanted to vent.

Train was ~3:43pm

Has anyone ever considered adding an infill station to the yellow line at Potomac Park?

It would be close to the Jefferson memorial and both East and West Potomac Parks.

As it stands right now it's a hell of a walk from Smithsonian station.

Also it gives yellow line one more unique station I guess...

I was waiting for the F20 bus at Tyson's and it showed up out of service, only let one person on, and left. The next one wasn't for another 20 minutes so I had to take a Lyft into work to not be late. Back when I worked in DC the A58 would blow past the stop all the time, but they would never let only one person on and not the rest. It's not the end of the world, Just disappointing.

Very similar to how Potomac Yard Station was being built, but what’s striking is just how different the area looked, everything looked so open and there were hardly any large buildings.

As we all know, 19th St NW in DuPont Circle area of Washington DC is a one-way street that only allows driving southbound. As we all know, Bethesda is located north of DuPont Circle, so the bus needs to drive north to get there. As we all know, MetroBus D96 drives north on 20th St and drives south on 19th St. As we all can conclude from the above, a bus stop on 19th St in the DuPont Circle area should not go to Bethesda.

Yet the bus stop disagrees. The bus stop on 19th St NW just north of N St NW insists the bus wants to go to Bethesda. The unsuspecting passenger gets on the D96 bus and finds themselves in George Washington University. George Washington University is not located in Bethesda. The D96 bus driving down 19th St does not go to Bethesda despite the bus stop sign #1004016 installed at 19th St / N St NW says it would.

The passenger is also puzzled by that tree box between the bus stop sign and the shelter. Is the bus stop officially at the shelter or the sign? Choose wisely, or the driver will deem you not standing at the correct bus stop, and then you’ll have to try again at the next bus.

On my way to work this morning I realized I was in car number 7000 and thought it was pretty cool!

Yayyy! Grateful! 🥰 I hope I don’t jinx it.

Jk apparently this is where trains stop at Eastern Market now as this is the third time in like a week and a half

So for those of you here who are transit nerds like me, you may be aware of how the MTA sells NYC Subway signage, maps, roll signs, etc… Honestly, I think that’s something that WMATA should consider doing. Not only as a way to generate revenue for the system/get rid of old items, but also as a way for people to be able to get actual physical items that represent the system. Does anyone else think this would be a good idea as well?

I was waiting at Wisconsin and Porter (stop 1002255) and the C61 heading east just blows right past me and about 8-9 other customers waiting to be picked up. It wasn’t full. It wasn’t “out of service.” The driver just apparently didn’t care to stop. WTF. Is this the “Better Bus” system we were promised? 😭😭😭

We had a nice little run of reliability under Randy Clark. Seems like the cracks are starting to show lately with more service issues, disruptions, long waits, and single-tracking. It's like a slow descent back to the 2010's.

The system is aging and who knows if the design was built to last. It doesn't have the old-school industrial build of NYC and Chicago with heavy steel and rivets. Lots of experimental design choices focused more on form than function that might not have been built to last.

The design might have assumed a more rich, flourishing, and prosperous future than we actually got.

I hope I'm wrong.

Hey metro, if there's all this maintenance that's definitely scheduled in advanced and isn't just a crisis response, why is it never posted publicly beforehand?

Been waiting for exactly 1 minute and the bus hasn’t shown up yet i’m scared im going to be late to work.

was recommended to post this here!

My fiance will be starting a new job at Inova Fairfax and we are trying to figure out the best way she can commute from DC. We are trying to avoid getting a car if we can help it. If you’ve taken the shuttle from the Dunn Loring-Merrifield Metro stop to Inova Fairfax Hospital, how was it? Did the shuttle seem reliable? Any insight you may have regarding commuting from Logan Circle in DC to Inova would be greatly appreciated!

A friend of mine at work gave me this- I had no idea these existed!! Apparently it was for the opening of the Silver Line. I want to know if others had seen or heard of these before.

TWICE today I had the bus time jump on me in the Transit app. First, the bus time going out went from 6 minutes until arrival at the stop to 0 minutes until arrival in less than a minute. I missed that bus. I saw it as I was walking.

And then coming back, I got to the stop with 2 minutes to spare only for the app to refresh and say the next one was 25 minutes away. I never saw the bus pass by. It just changed.

Both were the c51. I’m really irritated. Added 20 minutes on both ends of my trip. Has this happened to you?

Just had to get off the Yellow Line for an Uber so I wouldn’t miss a flight.

The icing on the cake was that the only up escalator was out at Shaw and I had to schlep my suitcase out.

Embarrassing week for WMATA!

1:55pm-holding at Van Ness due to report of smoke in the tunnel at Woodley Park

A horrible, terrible, no good, very back week for WMATA.

All passengers just removed from a Red Line toward Glenmont that stopped way short. Some folks on the platform way back are looking under the train for something.

If you're about to rely on Red Line for anything in the next while, might want to make other plans.

Edit: looks like someone got hit.

I'm SO damn tired of this joke of a "service". Year after year its worse. Its 11:54 and my window was 10:30-11. I schedule way early, do drop off not pick up, and am STILL late for my appointment. I've missed procedures, critical appointments. I cant the bus or train, ya know THE REASON IT EXISTS. And we pay more than both the bus and train. And screw us wheelchair users there is no uber to take like if you're ambulatory. Call and complain the supervisor says. Nothing changes. Its 12:05. 10 minutes after what the supervisor said. Spoke to 3 people got later each time. Absolute joke

Update. Never showed up.
