I used the Metro when I worked in DC. I "slugged" in from Northern Virginia, but had to use the Metro to get from the Pentagon to meetings that were all over the place. I also worked in Crystal City for awhile.

Your assessment is 100% correct. The Metro was an engineering marvel when first opened. Politics ruins all achievement.

Discussing my Metro ride at the Drs’ office, one of my colleagues introduced me to a gentleman (wearing a metro pin of 35 yrs service) as Carlton Sickles. I had no idea who he was and asked “Are you someone important then?”

He laughed and handed me the pin - I later learned he was the ‘father of the DC Metro, What a lovely and talented gentleman,

The only reason it was affordable was because the FedGov was subsidizing it with money from the entire country.
