Skinsfan1311 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 The last train is 11:27pm. The game, will probably end around 11:30pm. Plan accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superozman Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Good idea to post this. I saw a few people suggesting taking the metro for the game, and a few people correcting in different threads (might have been you). while there is uber and lyft that exist now, not everyone has that set up who might have planned to take the metro for the game - and got caught in a sticky situation. On a side note, i think it's nuts to not extend times for a sporting event. Much safer for many, convenient for many, and would probably fill cars!

Cooleyfan1993 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Well if the game turns out like almost everyone is hoping (a 38-17 win for us), people might be able to leave early in the 4th to catch the metro for a happy ride home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we can deal with the cluster **** that is the silver line and/or 66? Also meant to include 7, which is the worst. Double Edit: This should be it's own thread, but I hate starting new ones, so if someone wants to take the reigns, go ahead. The discussion: Does the Trump presidency increase the chances of a return to DC over MD/VA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RemoveSnyder Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 London Underground was amazing. We used the tube non-stop. In comparison to the Metro, the Underground was immaculate. Trains every 2 - 3 minutes, clean trains at that, no graffiti, and people respected the service. Just wonderfully efficient and convenient to every point in-between from Heathrow to the cogestion Zones 1 - 2. Pretty sure they run trains 24 hours on weekends too. Getting into and out of Wembley was smooth as well. All the services there just handled the masses really well. The sheer load probably would have made Metro explode by comparison. Send the Metro brass to London to learn something, or x1000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send the Metro brass to London to learn something, or x1000. I was in Europe this past summer for my first time (Spain and France) and the subway system in Paris was just incredible. I basically had the same exact experience as you. And on top of that, it was dirt cheap ~ $2 (USD) to get anywhere no matter how far or close it was. The Metro is a joke at this point. I took it to/from work for 20 months from Rockville to Crystal City, and while it was convenient to not drive and I basically watched movies/tv on my phone the whole commute, it was such a pain in the ass especially when things went wrong, which was virtually like 2-3 times a week. And to top it off, it was like $11/day at that time. Now it's even MORE expensive with MORE problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 That is beyond dumb by Metro. I just don't get them, man, did they say why? Scheduled Maintenance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF you really want to get political, we could discuss why metro systems in other countries are efficient, and why the DC metro is borderline 3rd world...
