Metro trains are meeting the transit agency’s goal for being on time, according to a new report, but only because officials recently dropped the standards. The agency lowered its goals for how it measures success earlier this year, dropping the target of having 95 percent of all trains arriving on time to 90 percent. Now, a new report says, 90.9 percent of trains were considered on time in May.

Yet even after lowering the bar, the agency couldn’t meet its own goals for keeping escalators running or buses arriving on time.
