@wmataGM I was in DC October of ‘24 and a restaurant server literally told me to not pay bus fares in DC because “no one does.”
The 🚇 in DC is the best I’ve ever seen it in my life, I would love to see the 🚌 experience improve with everyone paying their way.

Respectfully barking up wrong tree. We have a 🚌 vision plan, staff has proposed more service b/c we know it’s needed.
Issue is $ and more dedicated bus lanes both of which we don’t direct control.
If people paid 🚌 fares like 🚇 the 1st would be solved = more buses.

@wmataGM Wish you felt this way about buses.

I didn’t think fare evasion was that big of a deal; the evidence from DC + SF has definitely changed my mind.

The stats here are kind of remarkable. BART's new fare gates have led to a 1,000-hour decline in clean up time; 41% drop in crime; and $10 million increase in projected revenue. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/04/…

Great to see results in San Fran like those we have seen at @wmata. With our new gates fare evasion dropped over 80% collecting millions for better service, maintenance costs down & with other tools has resulted in the lowest crime we have ever had.

You should do WHATEVER IT TAKES to keep fare evaders off of your transit system.
Your transit will cleaner, safer, more efficient, and overall more pleasant for the hard working citizens that depend on it.

I think it bears repeating that BART installed tall gates to enter the subway and they're gaining $10m in revenue a year plus the need for maintenance is down by *95.7%* Passengers who were unwilling to pay a few bucks were causing 96% of the public cleanliness problems!

The life of Saint Augustine, and his call to servant leadership, reminds us that we all have God given gifts and talents. Our purpose, fulfilment, and joy comes from offering them back in loving service to God and our neighbor.

Today we celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. 40 years of being married to the most wonderful person. A loving wife, an amazing mom, and the sweetest grandma to our two grandchildren. Her love, strength, and kindness have shaped our family. Love her so much!

If I’m honest I don’t go to church nearly enough as I should. But every Sunday that I do go, I really enjoy it. I have noticed that there is no blokes my age who go at all. So if anyone living round my way wants to start coming with me, we can go get a pint after in the pub on me 😀👍 Bosh❤️

And the Americans (can't speak for the Brits) were a grumpy bunch:

It’s remarkable how much WWII has been filtered through a Hollywood lens for Americans. Americans were “bitter, stoic, grim, impatient, and vengeful.” And the men were cynical and prone to hustling the system for their own personal gain.

It's the first week of June so it's worth remembering 81 years ago a bunch of American and British boys were prepping for this operation. And most of them are gone now.
