From Dr. Gridlock: JG55, this isn't the program that Metro has been telling us about. The transit authority told us that was scheduled to start early next year on the Red Line.

I've asked this before on other posts: What happened to metro's claim that doing work on weeknights would NOT cause delays? Now that it is happening, we're seeing 20 minute delays. This is very frustrating and I wish the Post would call them out on these things.
