Bob's Advice

When I was first introduced to Mr.Tiller, I was told he was a "Champion of All Things Just." Not that I had any doubt, but after seeing his plea for the bus in a recent letter to the Editor in the Washington Post, I'm certain this description is accurate.

Thanks for keepin 'em straight Bob!


That's the Ticket

If incoming general manager John B. Catoe Jr. is serious about providing excellent Metro services ["Ready to Ride," Metro, Nov. 17], the most important step he can take is this: require that all his top managers and board members ride Metro regularly. Only then will they understand what needs to be done.
For years, Metro's managers and board members have been infrequent riders, so they have no idea what regular commuters go through. If they ride the trains and buses at rush hour daily we will all begin to see real improvement in the services.
