Same. I take the metro every day to work. Car is just for the weekend basically

Stachowskis (sp?) in Georgetown.

How many Marvin Gaye songs do you want?

Oh wow I didn’t realize the Amen Break was from the district

FOR SURE.

This dude this morning had a giant freaking hard box style backpack strapped to his back- I REALLY hope that this is not a trend.

Edit: trend not friend.

I’m just asking everyone point it out when you see it.

Edit: AND that people will get it once the campaign around it is back.

Well, that’s just like your opinion man.

It doesn’t. I don’t know how to explain how space works.

But if you don’t think it takes up more space, then why was there always campaign against it before the pandemic? Did you complain about if then?

I don’t think what I’m asking for costs any money. Like maybe (not you per se) not downvote everything I say on the topic so more people can be reminded to be more considerate- as well as to do everything we were doing before.

I noticed that in the trains I have been in recently there are NO ads at all - I assume they were taken down to do the work on them?

Edit: LOL @ electrical cables hahahah

Finally someone! Hhaha.

Yeah and i can spread my legs on the seats and take up two. But then we would both be inconsiderate.

Both. I’m asking people to be aware of the amount of space they take up and the implications it could have on other people.

Since when?!

What resources? All I’m REALLY doing is trying to remind folks that this was a thing that we used to do before the pandemic for good reason - and somehow forgot. Bringing back the pa announcements and signs in the cars would. E nice too.

How does ANY of this take away from “addressing the issues of the metro?” I don’t know how to inspect electrical wiring on rail cars. I don’t know how to fix the 7000 trains. I do know that our once common courtesy is gone and as a result delaying my travel time BECAUSE of all the other issues.

Obviously If my line went back to trains every 3 minutes it would not be an issue - but no post on Reddit can fix that.

You can hold it between your legs.

First of all I never said it was WAMATA’s job to literally police. I’m talking about common courtesy, that’s all. Second of all - it’s a problem when people take up more space when they need too because when trains run every 10-12 minutes sometimes it could mean missing a train because they are over crowded. This almost happened to me today, the door closed literally on me because a dozen people had backpacks on including the guy right in front of me. Caused me to miss the elevator too - which at my metro stop means a very significant wait and again - missing an in frequent train.

I don’t understand what is wrong with asking everyone to aware of their personal space.

There isn’t any more, that’s my point. I dont see or hear those ads.

How does that communicate “all of you who are wearing backpacks are taking up more space than you need to, please take them off and leave them by your feet so we have more space!”

This isn’t an isolated issue, that saying something to one person can address - this is a common courtesy that people either forgot or are new to the city since the pandemic and don’t know. What’s worse is that the signs in the ad boxes that said this are all gone.

Finally, as a very large “ethnic looking guy” I do not have the luxury of engaging in even polite confrontation. All is saying is being back the damn signs and hoping to bring a bit of awareness on here as well.

Going up? If I’m on the left then I’m in a hurry and will say excuse me.
