Betsy beat me to it. Moscow. 11 million people. The system is older than DC's by at least couple of decades. Severe winters. EVERY. 90. SECONDS there is a train. There would be riots in the city if the Mowcow Metro tried to pull a WMATA there even for half a day.

Speaking about Mexico - Mexico city also decent public transit with 10 times the population of DC metro area.

President Putin, is that you?
Close comments? why? It's a free country, people should be able to express their opinions freely. Our Constitution says so.

I also encourage this author to read today's blog post about lack of whistleblower protection. This is WHY there are anonimous sources.

I've lived in DC area for 15 years and used public transit all this time. In the late 90s the Red line used to be like a clockwork, there was no crowding and very rare malfunctions. Never, ever, ever was there 20 min between trains, even on weekends. All that has been run into the ground by poor management. I applaud the person behind Unsuck blog for brining it to light.
