They should pull up the tracks and just put down pavement and turn Metro into a functional road tunnel. What a pathetic transit system!

Yep, looses money every day too. Everyone should be allowed telework...a win-win for employees and businesses leases.

"Some people said they were on the train for 40 minutes or more before the doors opened."

Ummm being a member of the Self Preservation Society I don't think I would stay on a STOPPED train filled with smoke to the point that People were throwing up around me, people coughing, people spitting up for 40 minutes waiting for the doors to open.
