Reply to comment by suffertunity in Shots fired on Green Line Metro train, suspect flees at Navy Yard: MTPD | WJLA by Yaratam

I’m pretty sure people having their own experiences of filth and creep on the Metro makes people wary of the Metro.

But you believe what you want, my dude.

Well I've been in 1 serious car accident and have personally witnessed 3 other separate car accidents that had people carted off in ambulances afterward.

Can't say I've ever witness a shooting on the metro. But maybe that's just me.

Potomac Ave literally just had a shooting a month ago.

So yeah my dude count yourself lucky. Getting more wild to ride every day.

Cars are dangerous but that doesn’t take away from the absolute fact that Metro is getting worse in regard to safety. People are going to feel that, and decide to take an Uber / Lyft / etc instead when they can, or use their personal vehicles if they have one.

DC needs to up its police presence inside Metro stations and keep public transit safe to ride.
