Yesterday I dropped in a comment on the DCist site about the new signs that Metro is putting up in selected stations to help people figure out to get on and off the trains and the traffic here nearly tripled.  Go figure.

Today the Post (always a day behind) is covering the very same territory with their front of site story.  Robert J. Smith, who represents Maryland on the Metro board makes the most salient point of the article in that the damn trains never stop at the same place. The platforms are going to get crowded with numb-nuts standing on arrows expecting the trains to back up just for them.  And of course they decide to test this program in three of the busiest stations in the system instead of easing into it with the smaller, easier to manage stations.

Of course it only took Metro five years of studying the problem to come up with the new ideas.  

And my site is blocked by the ‘Net Nazis.

More later.
