Not Again!

Will they ever get it right?  After a week of vacation, it was back to the grind again and back to the mishaps of both MARC and the Metro.  The Metro red line was plagued with problems today as one of the trains I was riding was declared "out of service" causing a huge back up as people had to get off one train and stand with the hordes awaiting the next train.  The pushing and shoving and mayham began when the next train arrived and people attempting to catch the MARC trains tried to get to Union Station before the departure times.  They didn't need to worry though.  MARC once again was unable to keep to a schedule.  "A wire was down," according to the conducter.  That little wire caused chaos for all the trains -- the 4:20, the 5:20 and those after.  We finally departed about 5:50 only to travel at a crawl because so many trains were travelling along the same track.  I'm not holding out any hope that tomorrow will be better and frankly, I don't think MARC is either.
