Metro Riders Say Rising Fares May Force Them To Abandon System

Metro riders said on Tuesday that the rising cost of using the transit system -- combined with declining service -- may force them to seek other transportation options.
Kevin Miller, who commutes into the District from Alexandria, said he may abandon Metro in favor of driving.

"I'm very unhappy about it," Miller said of Metro's proposed fare spikes as he left Metro Center. "I'm considering buying a car, actually."

Miller wasn't alone.

In reading your comment, I can only hope for you that a cap with a wind powered propeller on top will save you. You can't "get off" any power source without a reliable alternative unless you have someone else paying for you. Do you?
