Tourists/visitors can no longer park in DC Metro lots
Are you ---ing serious?? Notwithstanding the civil liberties
implications, this means tourists and visitors travelling to the DC area can no longer access the system by car, nor suburbanites who use farecards. The implications are highly disturbing. CCed to rtusa-c.Advise tourists arriving by car not to attempt to use Metro. And advise them to contact their representatives. One more reason to oppose large parking lots at Metro stations. --BER "Keith F.

However, those cost $5 in addition to the actual value on the card. Since the value on the card is rechargable, the $5 is lost in the noise for someone who uses Metro a lot. But what about tourists, and people who just want to give Metro a quick try, but aren't sure they want to stick with it? -- Keith F.
