I'm glad I stopped using metro. To the person asking what "breakdown" means: really? It doesn't say "out of service", it says BREAK, as in "just stopped working". It's a sign of how pathetic and disconnected metro has gotten that they'd ever think that trumpeting a fact like this would reflect well on them. The shoe response just adds to the stupid, it doesn't really alter the overall stupid nature of the sign. If WMATA really cared about service levels, they'd have open reporting so the public could evaluate their performance. Instead, they *stopped* reporting service interruptions to the public a couple of years back. As far as we can tell, they don't provide accurate information to the metro board, either, because it's just so bad.
