@wmataGM Wish you felt this way about buses.

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/…

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!



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.
