Yeah, that's one of the reasons I never trust any public charging stations. It's a neat feature to add to Metro trains, but I'll still not use one for cybersecurity reasons. There's a reason why I have my own power bank in my bag for charging

Ahh, thought this was just a newly-done contract they've made since they didn't say it the article, which was why I was a little upset lol. In that case, let's hope these new trains would have less problems than the 7000s

Oh I know. It's just that I think they should fix the 7000s first and put them back on the tracks so we have more trains every few minutes again, before announcing their intent to buy a new fleet of trains.

Exactly! I'd rather WMATA nail the basic things first like making the tracks and trains more reliable, and also putting more trains on the tracks before doing anything else. As more putting more trains, I would want them to fix the safety issues first for the 7000s before announcing this buying of the 8000s trains.

Ehhh let's hope so. Hopefully it's not gonna be as problematic as the 7000s seems to be right now when these 8000s arrive in the future

pain

My brother in christ we just want more reliable trains so there's this beautiful thing called "a train every 5 minutes" and "on-time trains"
