Cosign to that. I'm interning downtown in Georgetown (who by the way needs to get over their fear of attracting "the wrong sort" and get a metro stop) and I definitely thought I was going to pass out on my way home on the metro yesterday . I've lived in either DC or the DC metro area my entire life and ridden public transportation the for all that time and I have never been on a more croweded train than the one I was going home on yesterday. The stupid tourists made it worse by standing in the doorways not grasping the concept that if you don't "stand clear of the doors" they won't close! No joke we were stopped at Farragut North for upwards of five minutes. If I'd been closer I would've pushed someone out -it was absurd! And, to top everything off, there was no AC on the train. In 98 degree weather. I thought at first it was just so ridiculously hot because of all the people but I ride to Medical Center so I quickly realized, once the people started to thin out, that no, in fact there was no air coming in whatsoever. Oh D.C. -fix your trains!!!
Phew. Just had to get that off my chest. My ride in this morning was much more pleasant. Maybe it's just cause people we're sweaty yet
