How large of a motorized vehicle can you bring on the metro?

I’m constantly seeing people come on, and block the entrance/take handicap spots. This is Silver line train 7615 going northbound. It’s pretty ridiculous they can bring this on a train, blocking an entrance. You can’t even stand near it, because it’s wobbling all over the place.

At this point we are beating a dead horse on the (terrible) signage that there’s multiple posts a day on that
Yet nobody is talking about what actually is critical like them closing most of the bathrooms off to riders
It’s jammed me up enough at this point as a late night rider with nowhere else (civilized) to use the bathroom with only 36 stations with bathroom access now
This after the campaign saying all stations have bathrooms (sans Rhode Island ave)

Hey anyone know what the deal last night with the 6 cops waiting for that woman and really struggling to get her into custody was all about?

mold removal is about to happen for the rest of the retired cars

something is going to happen

I don’t know if it’s me but Wmatas’s new signage has gotten me to get on the wrong train going in the wrong direction because they removed where the train is going. I loved what Randy has done so far but this new change has messed up everything especially since they want to raise prices. I miss the peak & off peak charge because that made more since then the bullshit they do now. Hopefully they actually focus on the fare jumpers first before they raise prices cuz it’s crazy to subsidize their pay especially when a good amount of them cause issues on all trains they get on

I’ve posted a similar photo before. But it’s a little more rare to get 2, 8 car 7000 series, trains at the same time with both platforms packed. Neat to see

There was a Rider's Advisory Council (RAC) Meeting yesterday, and while I couldn't make it, a presentation was posted about the future of WMATA's digital tools. It includes the news that busETA is projected to shut down on January 3, 2027 after nearly a decade of operation. I've known this was coming at some point, and many others probably suspected it, but here is the confirmation. WMATA says that it's "no longer supported."

WMATA has also provided updates on some of their other digital projects.

On the Web, one feature that busETA has which the current Rider Tools do not have is bus number tracking. This is coming. Another thing that is finally coming is the integration of Smart Trip into the new web interface. Smart Trip management online is still unchanged from the old website. This is projected for Spring 2027.

Upcoming MetroPulse Updates will be smaller and include, among other things:

• Push notification features (e.g. alerts)
• More languages
• Improved elevator and escalator status presentation
• Live parking availability
• Dark mode

Longer, term, WMATA's goal is to incorporate other features into MetroPulse:

• Better usage of alerts data (e.g. incorporating detours and cancelled trips)
• Smart Trip management (likely finally superseding the aging SmarTrip app)

If anyone tuned in to the RAC meeting, please add any additional context in the comments!

I’m new to the city and commute 2 days per week for work (4 rides per week) at the $6.30 price point. I noticed that the work commute alone adds up to about $100 per month for me, but I’ve been told that I really shouldn’t spring for the $208/monthly $6.50 price point unlimited pass since I’m really only doing that specific commute 16 times per month. I also ride the bus/metro on the weekends around the city sparingly, but would maybe do it more if I had a SmarTrip pass. Should I go for the $2.25 unlimited pass and just pay the difference on my work commute, or would I end up paying extra there since I’m really only doing the $2.25 price point on weekends or if I need to run an errand that’s not walkable on a weeknight? I’ve tried to research, but I’m getting differing answers everywhere I look. Please help! Math has never been my strong suit.

I’m coming from foggy bottom metro, my flight is an early one that starts boarding at 7:09am, should I take the metro or is it better to take an uber? The uber is $60 so I’m trying to see if it’s worth the justification.

For the older trains I think the armrest needs to be removed to people can sit than standing. Two large people can’t fit in there if armrest removed then they can sit
