@wmata @Metrorailinfo Our F-S bound BL train sat for a while at Arlington Cemetery, now we’re sitting again at Crystal City. What is causing these delays??

@wmata @Metrorailinfo What’s going on with DC bound BL train this morning?? It is stopping and holding at about each station (and between stations) on the way in from Van Dorn. Taking much more time than it should.

@ArlingtonTravel @humantransit The faregates and emergency exits are way too short. It’s ridiculous to see folks tailgating and jumping/climbing every day to brazenly avoid paying—and there’s no penalty. Need gates that are at least 6-7 ft tall to deter.

[Phil @pga1996]

@wmataGM @wmata Yet I just watched six people exit at Van Dorn without paying. Some climbed over, others tailgated. See this kind of stuff every single day, and no one employed at the station so much as bats an eye. How is this acceptable?? Meanwhile, some of us still pay. @AdamTuss

And not a word from the operator

@Metrorailinfo @wmata @wmataGM Why is our Franconia-bound BL train stopping for several minutes between DCA and Potomac Yard?? After personally experiencing yesterday’s BL afternoon commute meltdown , I didn’t expect something like this to happen again so quickly.

[Phil @pga1996]

And how will we be refunded?

[Phil @pga1996]

@Metrorailinfo @wmata @wmataGM Hi, could you please share more info about the severity of the problem and/or expected time for delays? My ride from VA to Foggy Bottom normally takes 28 minutes. Been on this train 57 minutes this AM and still have 2 stops left.

[Phil @pga1996]

@brentdsadler Of course there’s concern from India, as well there should be.

[Phil @pga1996]

@FlyFrontier Just landed in ATL on Frontier, only to be told we can’t pull into our gate and deplane for another 45 minutes — because another plane (F9 3045) is occupying our gate. What the heck??

[Phil @pga1996]

@Amtrak @FinanceChicago Any estimate on when online bookings/reservations will be restored? As of right now, it’s still down.

[Phil @pga1996]

@wmata Sorry—I just learned of the accident @Metrorailinfo

[Phil @pga1996]

@Metrorailinfo @wmata Why did our Franconia bound BL train just hold at Arlington Cemetery for more than 10 min????

[Phil @pga1996]

@wmata WMATA needs to step up real time communication with paying customers

[Phil @pga1996]

And just now we held outside Pentagon for another three minutes.

[Phil @pga1996]

Not a word from the operator (on a crowded rush hour train) about specifics of what was going on. Only the unhelpful recording that a train was in the station ahead.
