Metro says it doesn't have a solution for long Blue Line waits

Metro officials said Thursday that they have no way to ease the 12-minute waits between trains that thousands of Blue Line riders will suffer once the Silver Line opens.

“I’m sorry we don’t have another solution, but we simply have not been able to find one that makes financial or time sense,” said Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority board member Mary Hynes, who urged Metro to do more to alleviate the long wait times by running only eight-car trains on the line to move more people.
