Street Justice by Gordon Chaffin on WMATA transit service cutbacks

His piece far exceeds anything I could hope to write on the topic.  Street Justice is a weekly subscription e-letter.

Definitely he/Street Justice is a worthy addition to the community news-communication-commentary space in DC.

WMATA has cut headways on transit significantly.  Trains ran twice an hour in each direction starting on the weekend.  (Interestingly, that hasn't happened here in Salt Lake.)

However, ridership is down 70% or more in lieu of all the business closures and shelter in place mandates by local authorities.  And that creates big budget problems.

Not to mention the issue of bus drivers and other personnel getting and potentially spreading the coronavirus--buses as vectors for the disease.

At the same time, people without cars need to get around too.  I don't know what the solution is.

Other than biking ("Why not encourage cycling during the coronavirus lockdown?," Guardian).
