@wmata.com Car 7550 needs a wheel check. It was bouncing and jittering at an alarming rate in the 75mph zone between Dunn Loring and West Falls Church.

@wmata.com Will you post anything on @metrobusinfo.bsky.social for the route blockage just west of Columbia and Carlin Springs?

@wmata.com I just had to order a Lyft because the NB A76 bypassed NVCC and I was already late for my event. I know it’s a tight turn, but the last one was able to make that turn. 🤬

@wmata.com Bus 3205 is playing announcements too fast, and its security camera monitor is cycling through a test sequence.

@wmata.com Will the A58 and F61 be running today? I see the F60 is running, but there’s no real-time data for those two routes.

@wmata.com Based on real-time data, the F60 sat motionless for 10 minutes at Castle and Leesburg, detoured, and then the real-time data stopped. Now, we have to wait for the F61 out in the rain.

@wmata.com Bus 7090 has a loose HVAC cover, and a speaker is distorted.

@wmata.com Car 7553 needs a wheel check. The whole car is bouncing like crazy as the train moves with ATO in a 75 zone.

If @wmata.com gets the funding to do so, all A58s need to go to Seven Corners during rush hour. It’s just super popular AND the buses fill up.

@wmata.com Car 7022 was squealing as it arrived and left Ballston.

@wmata.com What the hell happened at Virginia Square? My train bypassed it despite the fact there were people on the platform and another operator keyed inside before it got moving. The operator announced something but was too quiet.

Thank you to everyone who’s watching the new Nytalite’s VHS Archive videos! If you haven’t seen them, why not check them out? Check the links in the replies!

I’ve also got more videos coming, including some new shorts for the main channel!

@arlingtondes.bsky.social @wmata.com I don’t know who is responsible for this, but there is what appears to be wet soap residue on the bus stop bench at Wilson & Herndon. I sat on it and it got on my clothes…

@wmata.com Bus 3194 is extremely dirty and should be pulled from service for cleaning. It even has a mild smell.

@wmata.com There are severe schedule adherence issues on the NB A76 right now. Bus 3193, which was supposed to serve NOVA Alexandria at 4:58, did not serve it until 5:12.

PSA: Being in a wheelchair does not exempt you from @wmata.com’s rules.

On bus 2973 on the EB A58, someone in a wheelchair was watching a movie on their phone through what was obviously an external loudspeaker. It sounded way too loud and clear to just be their phone’s speaker.

@wmata.com The NB A76 bus that served Dawes and Seminary at 1:41 today has a storage device error for its security cameras.

Additionally, bus 3170 on the A58 has a broken stop display and the security camera monitor is out.

@wmata.com The bathroom at L’Enfant Entrance B needs attention.

@wmata.com Based on real-time data, bus 4682 on the WB F50 was stopped at Route 29 and Espana Court for at least 10 minutes. I was going to take it from Vienna given all the CUE buses were 10-20 minutes late, but two CUE buses ended up coming first.

@wmata.com Bus 3134 on the WB F60 is full of trash and grime and smells bad.

@wmata.com The New Carrollton-bound train that was supposed to leave Vienna at 12:37 didn’t leave until 12:44.

@wmata.com Bus 4451 (currently on the NB P1X) is quite dirty and needs to be cleaned.

After supporting her since day one, I finally cast my vote for Abigail Spanberger (as well as Hashmi, Jones, and Del. Mark Sickles).

To all my fellow Virginia Democrats, let’s win this thing!

@wmata.com This may be Fairfax County’s job, but the pole for the removed stop at 3404 Carlin Springs Road needs to be removed immediately and drivers need to be instructed to decline courtesy stop requests. Someone on the A76 requested a courtesy stop there, and at least 6 people got off.

Here’s an update. It also wasn’t making audible announcements.

Perhaps this bus should be pulled from service for maintenance?

@wmata.com The stop sign is broken on bus 3135. The security camera monitor is also out.

@wmata.com The security camera system in bus 3114 keeps crashing and restarting every 1-2 minutes.
