OR i could walk to dupont and take the blue bus, which i might hate even more than the metro.<BR/><BR/>that is so fucking outrageous. its not my fault DC bureaucrats wasted my tax money. DC residents pay enough in taxes as it is, i shouldn't have to pay a fucking cab fare to take the metro to work.<BR/><BR/>rawr.nicholehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05868537555683210289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5216647.post-1166212209277224232006-12-15T14:50:00.000-05:002006-12-15T14:50:00.000-05:00FUCKFUCKRustyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02850398011830933932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5216647.post-1166194955790532462006-12-15T10:02:00.000-05:002006-12-15T10:02:00.000-05:00Since moving to Washington in 2001, the Metro has ...Since moving to Washington in 2001, the Metro has gotten progressively worse. <BR/><BR/>this is a misplaced modifier buddy. watch your grammar.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5216647.post-1166128679257727932006-12-14T15:37:00.000-05:002006-12-14T15:37:00.000-05:00http://www.wmata.com/about/board_gm/wmata_budget_w...http://www.wmata.com/about/board_gm/wmata_budget_worksheet.xlsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5216647.post-1166125133532265362006-12-14T14:38:00.000-05:002006-12-14T14:38:00.000-05:00Matt change the fucking picture before I have a fu...Matt change the fucking picture before I have a fucking heart attack.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5216647.post-1166120965258864332006-12-14T13:29:00.000-05:002006-12-14T13:29:00.000-05:00It's up now.It's up now.Rustyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02850398011830933932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5216647.post-1166118053946832372006-12-14T12:40:00.000-05:002006-12-14T12:40:00.000-05:00You're damn right the fare increases are going to ...You're damn right the fare increases are going to hurt the working man.

But I don't think it's fair b/c when it comes to situations like that people around here from all races and creeds and walks of life would hold the door open.<BR/><BR/>That guy was the exception to the norm. Maybe he was catching a good one and just got paranoid? I've been there.<BR/><BR/>But there's a simple solution to that in the unlikely event it ever happens again. Rusty realizes that man entered second and has even less of a claim on ownership to that one elevator. Rusty sticks his hand in the door to hold it for those other people.<BR/><BR/>You're totally allowed to do that. I'm deputizing you.

Under the proposal, the trip would cost $3.40 with a SmarTrip card and $4.35 with a paper card. The higher fares include the 35-cent "congestion charge," because Farragut North is one of the system's most crowded stations."<BR/><BR/>Are you fucking kidding me? So I am being punished for working in downtown DC with a 35 cent extra charge because I get off at MetroCenter?ihateyuppieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14656529543240441687noreply@blogger.com
