Where does Metro live and what is her last name?
Only if Congress has to ride it too.
Metro, is a tri-jurisdictional government agency that operates transit service in the Washington metropolitan area. WMATA was created by the United States Congress as an interstate compact between the Washington D.C., the State of Maryland, and the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Where does DC budget come from?
Most of its funding comes from the federal government.
Once agreement is reached between the Mayor and the Council, the budget is adopted and transmitted to the President of the United States for submission to Congress for approval. Congress must approve the District’s budget as part of one of the 12 annual federal appropriations bills.
So these cards will be sold for drug money, solving nothing and making an existing problem worse.

I live in city. I would welcome free public transit and would vote, yes, in a nano-second.
Even though I don’t use public transit, it would be worth it to me personally.
A normal seven-day pass (for all regions under Metro)...is $58. So I’d question the $100 being enough to do much.
I’d also ask the question...out of 692k residents...how many use Metro presently? I doubt that it’s more than one-third of them. The present rider situation? Mostly non-DC residents...that’s what I find odd about how the city council worded this.
A DIY social credit system.
Pay people who obey you.
Tax people who don’t.
D.C. isn’t that big. Why can’t they walk or ride their bikes? Help protect “da enviomen”.
“Critics say that undocumented workers would have to register with the District to receive the benefit.”
Yes. That caught my eye also. I like the euphemism for illegal aliens. And I like the implication that the city should protect illegal aliens from the law. Might as well complain that nearby security cameras might help to identify criminals.
Come to think of it. In D.C. you might be as likely to be judged a criminal if you wear a MAGA cap as if you as if you loot a store.
How on Earth does a city the size of D.C. have a budget of $17.5 BILLION? I mean, I know the amount of fraud and waste that is likely occurring, but still….seriously?
If they were serious they would e Mandating ALL Public Employees Exclusively use Public Transportation for ALL TRAVEL, with Severe Penalties for non compliance
Make riding the subway free and use the $100 per resident for operating costs.
The D.C. Councilmembers will each take a crate of money and hand it out themselves good idea huh Lee Roy?.
To heck with THAT! Just make it FREE. Why NOT?
And Biden’s Transportation CZAR states that we all must get rid of our cars and ride the bus. 👎😡🚍
The woman eventually gets up but throws punches at another passenger before getting off the bus. Benavidez said he’s noticed more bad behavior on buses recently. “It’s been a problem for the past few months. People refusing to wear masks, not obeying commands of the driver, twice in the last month I’ve witnessed two people doing drugs on the bus,” he said.
He’s calling on city leadership to bump up security. “I agree with the free fare program and fares but at the same time they had to anticipate that there was going to be some people getting on the bus as a result of that program that shouldn’t be there,” said Benavidez.
