MARC’s riders advocacy group is holding a special meeting on Wednesday to address the recent troubles on the commuter train service that have trapped riders on airless trains, repeatedly delayed them and even overshot their stops.
The past few days have been especially trying for the riders.
Maryland’s top two transit officials even experienced the pain on Monday, according to The Baltimore Sun’s Michael Dresser. Transportation Secretary Beverley Swaim-Staley and Maryland Transit Administration chief Ralign T. Wells were on a Penn Line train that missed its stop Monday evening, forcing riders to take a train back in the other direction.
Swaim-Staley plans to speak to the MARC Riders Advisory Council and the public at the 4 p.m. meeting in the Hall of States, 444 North Capitol St., Washington, in room 337.
