I was shocked to learn that at one Metro station, escalator repair was going to take three years.

Granted some stations are deep underground and have long escalators. I don’t recall which station was undergoing repair. But it seemed quite a long project to take years to refurbish escalators at just one station. The Empire State building was built in less time than that.

“I was shocked to learn that at one Metro station, escalator repair was going to take three years.”

I’m guessing it was a connected minority firm that got the contract.

I’m also guessing that the contract costs far more than it should.

I’m also guessing the escalator will not be fixed correctly.;
