At LEAST another 90 days without 7000-series trains as Metro takes a deeper dive into the cause of the wheel issues.

So that means at the EARLIEST trains wouldn't be back until mid-April.
Meanwhile, Metro says it's working faster to get 6000-series trains, which had coupler issues, back on the tracks to provide better reliability on the system.
Service will not improve during that time.

I have two thoughts here
1. What would the region look like if were not in a pandemic and everyone is used to telework now?
2. What will the region and pandemic look like in mid-April as we continue to deal with decimated transit service?

Here’s a statement from the independent Metrorail Safety Commission. Bottom line, Metro can figure out what it needs to do to move forward but it has to be safe.
