Metro Increases Fares (again)

In case you haven't heard; Starting "On or About" March 1st through June 30th; all Metro fares will increase by 10 cents.

Now this isn't much of an increase; but it is better than reducing service. Thoughts of closing the Metro rail system early or opening later didn't go well with consumers; so increasing fares to help eliminate a budget shortfall was the only answer.

Here is an answer for Metro: Hire some competent managers who can run the Metro system. It seems those in the DC Metro area who rely on Metro continually face accidents, closures, poor service and shut downs. Many of us are (or already have) lost faith in the Metro system. Why is it that other mass-transit systems can run 24/7 carrying many more passengers over many more miles of track; with less incidents? It baffles me.
