At what point will "Getting There" actually start really putting the screws to Ralign Wells' lack of leadership at the MTA?

There is nothing being done "right" at this agency.

As a taxpayer, i am sick and tired of my hard-earned money being taxed to support such a fundamentally dysfunctional system.

I want to heads to roll, and I want them to roll now. Not later. I don't want cutesy photo-op moments from O'Guvnah. I want him to hold his appointed lackeys accountable.

I was riding that train and track conditions could not have been the culprit. If they needed more time to brake for whatever reason, they should have started slowing down sooner. The explanation that was given to riders by the conductor on board was that much of the staff on the train was filling in for the staff that was being reviewed after last week's debacle. She herself was a one-day a week worker who is normally in New York. She also kept telling passengers that we would be backing up to Odenton while her walkie talkie was saying that we were proceeding to BWI and that we'd all have to catch a southbound train.

the circumstances that MARC riders encounter on seemingly a routine basis unacceptable. all of this bad press has has impacted my thoughts about searching for employment in DC while maintaining city residency; and I am sure I am not the only one.

state leadership needs to realize that they cannot proceed with transit-oriented development as a means to promote growth around such an under-performing system. rather than assisting the development community in building around transit stations, perhaps state resources should be directed to maximizing performance and maintaining a smooth and efficient system (across all MTA modes: LR, Metro and MARC). people will use a such a system and the development community will respond to those consumers' demands.
