Yeah, it could be worse. I'd rather not have to check https://ismetroonfire.com/ before commuting.

Well I guess it’s good that maintenance is getting done.

Any word on when we’re going to get below 10-minute headways on the Red Line? I was disappointed this morning when I saw the headways were still 10 minutes, as I was kind of hoping after Thanksgiving we’d see some improvement. But it’s still supposed to go down to 8-minute and then 6-minute headways before the end of the year, right?

All streets, busses, and capitol bike shares will also be worked on this weekend. and for the rest of your god forsaken lives.

Note that Silver ends at Ballston and B+ ends at National. 24 minutes doesn’t mean 12 on the branches and 6 in the core, it means 24 in North Arlington/Crystal City/Largo too, not just the single-line branches, and 12 in the core. A fun weekend. That being said, hopefully all these construction weekends catch Metro up eventually to where these can become more rare in the future!

This is more common than you think.... If it was up to the project managers, we would be working at multiple locations on each line every weekend. Rail operations limits us to one location per line

It’s gotten so bad that the average person has joined in the construction to speed up the project and is now fabricating narratives about being assaulted.

Well I remember previous years when they didn't do any or enough Maintenance. I will just have to work around the delays.
