Locals to tourists: Stand to the right

Visitors from out of town should avoid riding Metro during rush hour, locals warn the hordes of tourists that are swarming the streets of D.C. this week. One vendor selling ice cream and drinks near the Lincoln Memorial also offered advice about tourists using Metro escalators.

“On the Metro, when I’m coming here to work, everybody knows, ‘right side, you stand, left hand you walk up.’ You say ‘excuse me,’ but they just don’t move,” said the man, who declined to give his name because he’s not allowed to speak with media.
