Eh Rent in NYC, especially Manhattan, is so much higher than DC that even some higher food costs still outweigh.
You can get a 1BR for ~$2,200 in the center of DC. You can't find anything for less than $3,000 in NYC.

Reply to comment by ScoutOdst1711 in WMATA to increase weekday train frequency on February 7 and 21, increase number of 8-car trains (Orange Line will have all 8 car trains starting 2/7) by trev1997
No it's increasing daytime service to 8 minutes Tuesday - Thursday on Red line. Nothing else changes.

Reply to Heads up Blue, Orange, Silver riders. 25 minute headways coming starting tomorrow. by LoganSquire
>Metro has filed petitions for reconsideration, as provided under WMSC’s program standard. The petitions seek a stay, pending reconsideration, of the train operator and 7K directives that reduce or prevent the restoration of customer service.
>In its petitions, Metro states the agency has worked transparently, collaboratively, and side-by-side with the WMSC to track and share data on all 7000-series railcars, in exceedance of the Return to Service Plan. Upon request of the WMSC and outside of the Return to Service Plan, Metro has shared with the WMSC the inspection records of all 7000-series railcars on a daily basis since the Return to Service began.
>Further, the 7K petition documents that there has been no confirmed wheel movement during the Return to Service period since May 23, 2022, which supports and reinforces the plan to move from Step 2 to Step 3 – extending back-to-back interval inspections from four to seven days.
>“We look forward to the WMSC’s timely review of the petition but there is really a larger fundamental issue that needs resolution,” Smedberg said. “The Board and staff are fully supportive of an independent safety oversight body; however, the relationship between WMSC and Metro is structurally untenable and does not advance the region’s mission of providing safe and reliable rail service. We are respectfully requesting assistance from the jurisdictions to help mediate a process to move the relationship forward and to meet our jointly stated goal of having the safe, world-class transit system that our region deserves.”

A large portion of the drivers in this city drive too fast, blow through stop signs or red lights, don't stop for people in crosswalks, etc. All these can kill people.

Le Diplomate? Very fancy, has a good steak frites, good options for vegetarians. You'd impress him there.

Comical that you think this is a bad thing. God forbid they try to save their riders time.

Current full service has them running 18 trains through the tunnel per hour. They can run up to 24, so there's room for more.

Yeah, of course, I was more saying that for anyone who wasn't looking at the presentation.
I think it is probably ATO. Clarke has mentioned he is looking into that.

It's a low ridership, low revenue option that will be operationally expensive. It's not going to be implemented. It's just one of many options that was presented.
What we might see in the future is return of Red Line turn-backs at Silver Spring and Grovesnor, Yellow Line turn-back at Mt. Vernon, and increased Orange line service.
