Trainspotters. Federal Oversight, Jurisdiction Oversight, Board Oversight, and Rider Oversight watch for a functioning Metro train. Rider Oversight: Nothing yet.
Nos NevetsDo you really think DC is the only city with poor oversight of the public’s property? I recall Signe Wilkinson has commented on hers without you getting knickers in a twist. It’s their job.
I think the issue of dilapidated DC Metro trains has national implications. Congress has refused to properly fund maintenance of the system for years, leading to its current state of disrepair. The privatization crowd lurks.
