Same Old Song
Looks like we have another satisfied MTA customer…
The doors opened and people were spilling out because they were so jammed in the exit wells. Needless to say, I did not get on; it did not look safe, much less comfortable. Ten or so minutes later, the next one arrived – same story. People were falling out when they opened the doors, and again I declined to board. (This also happened to be a day when the Orioles had a 12:30 p.m. game at Camden Yards that let out at rush hour.)
Thirty minutes later, I was finally able to get onto a two-car train. Why would the MTA use only the singles during rush hour and on the day a game lets out during rush hour?…
….I think I speak for many when I say that’s a long time to put up with such inconvenience. At a time of soaring gas prices and clogged highways, transit officials should be doing what they can to encourage ridership – not driving people away.

Amen to that. The Maryland Transit Administration has been a disaster for some time, and I have long called for a house cleaning of all MTA senior leadership. I just continue to ask why the O’Malley Administration, who advocates the expansion of transit, continues to allow this kind of failure and mismanagement from its transit system managers?
