You're joking, but it's actually true. The riders are paying for all of this. Ridership has gone down since the accident and since the economy has taken a hit, and as a result, Metrorail has raised fares to cover the budget gap. Once the lawsuits from the victims have gone through, and they have received their millions of dollars, Metrorail will be out even more money, and fares will be raised again. The riders are the customers, and we will pay for it all.

Metro used to be a world class transit agency, but it's looking more an more like it was ruined by one person. Catoe.
