Metro sidesteps D.C. Council questions on train breakdowns, employee perks

Metro missed a deadline to answer key oversight questions from the D.C. Council, despite being given an extra month to respond.

A D.C. Council committee in March asked Metro to list its employees who received cellphones and iPads or who were assigned vehicles or took trips on Metro’s dime. It also asked for the number of train breakdowns and the delays they caused. Metro did not supply the information, and a D.C. Council staffer said they gave Metro another month, until Monday, to answer.
