Dear Metro:

I need you. I do, you get me to work every day, and without you I would have to drive and the Spur is so horrific that I don’t even want to entertain that thought. I am with you, you are my means of transit. But you know that, and I think you’ve started to take our relationship for granted.

You have asked me to pay your rush-hour rates to get to work, and I gladly complied. I am willing to spend the few extra dollars to enjoy the rush hour service, but you have to deliver the service. Metro, ten minute waits for the Yellow Line train is not rush hour service. Spacing Red Lines trains so far apart that there are no seats left at Rockville, your second stop, is not rush hour service.

We generally get along well, I want to continue that relationship. If you can keep showing me the respect of timely trains and we will have many more mornings and evenings together

Sincerely,
Greg
