This year was better, but unfortunately there were still problems. The most.dc.gov site did not require users to designate a second pickup person when making a parent account, but not having one prevented registration. The error message was generic and unhelpful.

Here's the inside of a 54 packed to the point of being unsafe that your system did not think was full at all. This happens every day. Seeing all the boasting about trains when busses are still neglected just adds insult to injury.

And when your staff tells you literally anything about passenger load and utilization percentage on busses, remind them that their data relies on farebox and is therefore junk. Here's a 54 that your data thinks didn't even merit a person icon showing it to be somewhat crowded.

@wmatagm.bsky.social I don't want to hear about another record train day until busses on 14th Street don't have a 20 minute gap.

2024 MPD arrest data is now public (though not posted to the Open Data DC portal). Huge jump in liquor and narcotics arrests showing an emphasis on quality of life. Also a big jump in traffic enforcement, though the lack of increase in DWI raises some questions about focus.

The other problem here is that MPD is still doing much less work per officer and massively less traffic enforcement than they were pre-Covid. It's never been a better time to be a reckless and/or drunk driver in DC!

Now we all get to ride a dangerously overcrowded 52 with people packed all the way to the front door. Most riders were waved on with no fare, so your data will show it as only partly full.

DDOT can do better than this, but you have to hold them accountable. This is what they did in a neighborhood where they know someone is watching.

Design metrics are great, but when the reality is this we need to ask what they're accomplishing.
