She was a bus driver who answered questions from a curious 5th grader. A decade later, they reconnected — as colleagues | CNN
Though Sam Mencimer didn’t know it at the time, all those moments with his favorite bus driver, Joy Kenley – the never-ending questions, the bus depot tour – would have a lasting impact on his life.

Another month of US transit data is just in, & DC's WMATA remains the fastest-growing major US transit agency, with ridership up 12% compared to last year
King County Metro (Seattle, +7.5%) & SEPTA (Philly, +6%) have performed well, while LA Metro & NJTransit have lost riders🧵

Morning CM. Just some add’l context on incident. MTPD was doing regular fare enforcement (IRS is on federal Taskforce & sometimes supports MTPD). An adult female was caught fraudulently using a Kids Ride Free card then punched an officer in the face. She was arrested for assaulting a police officer.
I was on the ground earlier today at the Petworth Metro Station after I received troubling reports from neighbors about IRS Criminal Investigation agents working with Transit Police to interrogate riders on WMATA buses.

Big day for @wmata.com & our region! Very appreciative of our partner @mwcog.bsky.social helping lead DMVMoves to a successful vote of support by our regional leaders & supports🙏. Securing indexed capital funding in upcoming VA/DC/MD budget sessions is critical to our economy & quality of life.

Appreciate the leadership of the VA SJ28 Committee leaders who are working to address @wmata.com longterm funding needs. Next session is time to solve funding once & for all. The support of Metro by our partners is truly appreciated & why Metro was named top transit agency in US.

Thank you very much for highlighting this thread about one of our @wmata.com fanatic team members. This type of personal touch is why we hit the highest customer satisfaction numbers in Metro’s history.
Some @wmata.com station manager is doing a hell of a job @wmatagm.bsky.social
(Side note: this Facebook page for DC tourists is just constantly full of praise for our city. People are constantly praising our residents, transit, offerings. I never see complaints about crime or anything else)

Goodbye 2k fleet and thx for your service! And don’t worry we kept cars 2000-2001.
A bittersweet farewell to our 2000-series! 🚇
Today, we removed the final one from Greenbelt Rail Yard. These trains were first introduced in the early 1980s, operated nearly 200M miles, and carried more than 775M passengers.
Now, we’re making way for our 8000-series! 👋

Thx you for spending time with us today and your ongoing support of transit and Metro.
Touring portions of the @wmata.com system with DMVMoves today. The control room at Farragut North Station was built in the 1970s. It has not seen significant upgrades since then. While safe, unfortunately, it’s not always reliable.
