Mass Transit Stinks

Someone smeared feces all over the pedestrian bridge at the Franconia-Springfield station on the D.C. Metro subway line. A rider noticed it there Monday. On Tuesday, still there. Same Wednesday. Metro said it wasn't their problem, it was the Virginia Railway Express commuter line's responsibility, and that line doesn't have any employees working at the station. Another VRE station in Alexandria also had poop sitting there. Eventually, Metro did clean it up. Why the problem? Metro doesn't talk to VRE and vice versa. There's a "chain of command" to deal with. And while the bureaucrats follow procedure, poop remains all over the place. (Washington Examiner)
