@rideonmct.bsky.social @mcdotnow.bsky.social, bus 4065D on 101 SB pulled up to Montgomery College at 4:01 PM, one passenger got off and the driver told us at the stop that the bus was out of service, closed the doors and left. There were still two passengers onboard.

@wmata.com M22 southbound at Connecticut and Jones Bridge was a no-show, turning my 4 minute ride into over an hour. When the next bus shows up, I will have waited at the stop for over 40 minutes. Something needs to change as this is completely unacceptable!

@wmata.com this is getting ridiculous. The M70 has been running at terrible service levels on weekends for about the past 3 or so weeks. Constant bunching of buses, and unacceptable headways, and canceled trips. It has only been getting worse.

This week someone targeted my family for harm with a false report. We’re physically OK, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t harmed. I am beyond furious. Whatever your politics, this is awful, wrong, and can never become normal.

A Terrible Thing Happened to My Family

Even in today's climate, there should be one fundamental principle everyone respects: whatever you think about someone in politics, you leave their kids alone.

@wmata.com, huge kudos to ELES for their swift response. Within about an hour of being reported broken to the station manager, the McPherson Square Street elevator is back up and running, just in time for the parade to start.

@wmata.com, the interior screen doesn’t work on bus 4648. All exterior screens and announcements are working fine.

Today, I rode @wmata.com’s pride train and bus. I really like this year’s design! Happy pride 🏳️‍🌈!

@wmata.com this new stating the fare thing is wildly ineffective. Now some fare evaders are getting so riled up about it that they’re taking their anger out on other passengers including PAYING riders like myself.

Elijah @realelijahc.bsky.social · 18/04/2026

@wmata.com, the speakers on bus 7256 are extremely quiet, like most of them aren’t working.

Elijah @realelijahc.bsky.social · 17/04/2026

@wmata.com I ended up missing a westbound M70 at Silver Spring because the 3:40 PM trip left FOUR MINUTES EARLY!

Elijah @realelijahc.bsky.social · 12/04/2026

Also @wmata.com thank you for fixing the restrooms at Potomac Yard! I was very happy to see both restrooms in service and that the leaking fixtures in the men’s room were repaired.

@wmata.com huge props to the station manager at Gallery Place Entrance C for a very swift response to a customer who fell at the bottom of the escalator. He safely stopped the escalator and assisted a bystander with helping the customer up.

@wmata.com the farebox on bus 4732 is going crazy. I think it might’ve been doing this the other day too.

Elijah @realelijahc.bsky.social · 27/03/2026

@wmata.com, the WB M70 just left myself and another rider stranded in the rain at stop 2000126 as 7264 just blew past the stop. Can we please get articulated buses on this route during rush-hour? I’ve been asking for this for about a year at this point.

Elijah @realelijahc.bsky.social · 24/03/2026

@wmata.com, huge kudos to the Metro employee Derek Hendricks who was very patiently helping a seemingly lost teenager at Bethesda Station figure out which buses to take to get home.

I just decided to check the comments on the renewable energy video again and a ways down there was a comment with plenty of likes and a few replies where people were essentially taking bets on when I'd come out as trans. What is with these weird little freaks?

Hey @wmata.com, in the customer restroom at Gallery Place Exit C (N206), the door is sagging so badly that it wont close all the way (or lock) without forcefully shoving it shut, and then it gets stuck and requires excessive force to open.

Elijah @realelijahc.bsky.social · 17/03/2026

Hey @transit.app, what’s up with the monthly leaderboards? It appears that they have been purged like halfway through the month.

Also @wmata.com, car 3278 has an old system map at the front of the car

Hey @wmata.com, what’s up with the restrooms at Potomac Yard? They’ve been out of service for about a month now.

Elijah @realelijahc.bsky.social · 26/02/2026

My point still stands. Especially after what happened yeaterday. This authority is so heavily abused nowadays. I’m not saying they shouldn’t have the authority to do this, it should just be harder for them to do it for stupid and unproductive reasons.

Elijah @realelijahc.bsky.social · 12/02/2026

@wmata.com, the interior speakers on bus 6559 aren’t working.

Elijah @realelijahc.bsky.social · 05/02/2026

@wmata.com, no westbound M70 at Silver Spring for roughly an hour. Bus finally showed up a few minutes ago and is jam packed. We need better service than this.

Elijah @realelijahc.bsky.social · 03/02/2026

Dear fellow bus riders, NO ONE WANTS TO HEAR YOUR MUSIC! So please TURN IT OFF or put on headphones. Thank you

Hey @wmata.com, the exterior speakers on bus 7342 are very distorted and muffled.

Elijah @realelijahc.bsky.social · 28/01/2026

Hey @wmata.com, what is up with the elevator at Dupont? Wasn’t this one rehabbed just a few months ago? And doesn’t that type of work take several months to complete?

Elijah @realelijahc.bsky.social · 20/01/2026

@wmata.com, the Southbound D40 stop at Georgia Av+Bonifant St has a blank sign.

Hey @rideonmct.bsky.social, @mcdotnow.bsky.social, last time I checked, the 28 does not run on Sunday. Can someone please take a look at this webpage and update it accordingly? www.montgomerycountymd.gov/DOT-Transit/...

A screenshot of a webpage showing links to schedules for Montgomery County Ride On route 28. A heading reads "Schedules" in black text on a light purple background. Below, bold text reads "Route 28 operates Monday-Sunday." Below are links to the PDF timetable for the route (last updated 8 May 2022), and a link to holiday schedules for the Ride On bus system.

Elijah @realelijahc.bsky.social · 20/12/2025

@wmata.com, @mcdotnow.bsky.social nowhere does it say that the TRiPS store at Silver Spring closes over 15 minutes early. Also the hours are unreasonable for public restrooms in a bus terminal with 24/7 service.

Hey @wmata.com, driver side stop request cord is broken on bus 4478.

Hey @wmata.com, the digital screens on bus 4735 have a green tint and are very fuzzy.

Elijah @realelijahc.bsky.social · 02/12/2025

Hey @wmata.com, can you please adjust the bus schedules to allow a timed connection from the P30 to the M70? This is especially frustrating with the regular bunching of buses and dropped trips on the M70.

Elijah @realelijahc.bsky.social · 12/11/2025

Hey @wmata.com, bus 6482 is showing up as 8062 on online trackers (including MetroPulse, BusETA, and Transit)

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

@wmata.com, bus 7256 has a broken stop request cord and the interior speakers are barely even audible.

Elijah @realelijahc.bsky.social · 23/10/2025

@wmata.com M70 seems to need more service during PM rush hour. Two buses just came by within about 2 minutes of each other. First one was completely full and second one was only about half full, but didn’t stop for me. I was directly at the bus stop and flagged it down, still drove past.

@wmata.com, the E-ink screen at the Montgomery Av+Waverly St stop in Bethesda (2000098) is not displaying realtime info and the audio is not working either.

So let me get this straight — someone gets FIRED for having a Pride flag on their desk? In 2025?! Absolutely unacceptable. This isn’t just about a flag — it’s about visibility, identity, and basic human dignity.

I had this great idea for an entry into @wmata.com’s giveaway featuring me wearing my #MetroU hoodie around on campus. Didn’t turn out the way I hoped, but at least it’s something.

Elijah @realelijahc.bsky.social · 02/09/2025

@wmata.com, I really hate complaining about things like this, but bus 7257 running the 4:06 PM westbound M70 trip departed Silver Spring 3 minutes early resulting in me missing a connection from another bus that was running on time.
