Why does the fucking DC Metro not offer a 5-day pass, ie one that would make the most sense for a mostly-commuter rail system? Three is good for today's post-lockdown hybrid work schedule world but why offer a 7-day but not a 5-day? Do we really think that all the commuters coming in from NOVA/MD, which I'm
*guessing
* makes up like 80% of the the entire system's ridership, are JAZZED! about having to pay for theoretical weekend rides in order to get all 5 days for their weekly work commute? "Oh bOY, this means I can take the absolutely worthless/shitty weekend Metro around Washington DC all weekend for no real reason if I want?? YES!!!"? And while theoretically the 7-day pass works out to being cheaper per day than anything else, if you buy it just to use it for M-F it works out to $12/day, which is more than the 3-day pass.
So in other words it's under the guise of "7 is more than 5 so it's better!" but in this case that's total bullshit, like making you pay for cable channels you
(or anybody) will never watch, and yet another thing in this cruel cold world - like the MLB network ratfucking us loyal subscribers by blacking out games - that I woulda guessed people far richer & more powerful than I would've bitched out of existence by now.
