After 559 days at home, going back to the office today.

Reader, I am generally not an anxious person, but I did not sleep last night, full of dread.
Didn’t even get a #newtrain this morning. 😡
Ah yes, man blowing his nose on the train. Thanks.
Shoutout to the other 30 people in this car wearing masks tho.

Metro's board is hearing the presentation on potential fare changes right now.

You can tune in here if you're curious:

I'll tweet some of the board members' reactions.

This idea, that fare value is stored on cards, always seemed super weird and odd to me. But the backend is 30+ years old so that's why it makes no sense.

Also why if you want to move your card to iPhone/Android your physical card no longer works. Image
Now on to questions.
Finance Chair Matt Letourneau: Are there any scenarios that raised ridership AND revenue?

WMATA's Tom Webster: No. Primarily ideas to drive ridership.

Only a few hours remain for the Wendy’s near NoMa and Google Maps says it’s poppin.

It closes tonight to make room for a revamped and (hopefully) safer intersection.
Look, I know we talk about Wendy’s and Dave Thomas Circle a lot, but can we talk about the unsung hero of Florida Ave?

This Domino’s always smells fantastic when I’m on the Met Branch Trail.
Smash that RT button if u agree

Next up today: @newfdmb ribbon cutting.
Marching bands, truck horns and what I think was a planned helicopter flyover? And a beautiful rendition of Lift Every Voice and Sing.
Bowser says the new Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge is symbolic in bridging communities, but also providing accessibility between Ward 8 and Ward 6.

More service, but also train bunching this morning.
When the new passenger info screens showing you things you don’t want to see.
More bunching and holding at every station on my way back from Navy Yard. Woman behind me mutters “don’t make me late for work.”
