Metrobus: Only a 27% Failure?
The Washington Post is reporting that Metrobus’s ontime rate is at 73%. As a regular rider of the bus, I find this statistic hard to believe. Frankly, I would have placed the number higher. 40%, perhaps?
I can certainly attest to the ‘N’ line busses running late or simply not arriving at all. On a regular basis. Usually when I need it. The worst problem, though, is when the bus comes early. Instead of slowing a bit to try to match the schedule, it simply speeds along its route, leaving those who get there when the bus is scheduled to wait even longer for the next one.
