Another article with more detail.

WMSC says that in getting trains back to service, Metro has been avoiding its providing adequate training. Metro operators are supposed to get 8 hours training with no passengers before they move to training with passengers. According to Metro they allowed moving up to 2 hours of no-passenger training to with-passenger training.

As a I rider, I say just grandfather those operators in and require compliance going forward. WMSC is being punitive here except instead of punishing Metro leadership they're punishing riders.

Yeah, I'm not seeing how this helps anyone. These operators have already done however many hours with passengers. Making them do six hours without passengers feels pointless.

Unfortunately I have no faith in Metro complying with anything going forward. They’ve been caught over and over breaking the rules.

Metro has proven time and time again that it does not require compliance going forward.
