A man hopped on the back of a Metro train at McPherson Square Monday morning and rode it from the outside, a witness told News4.⁠ ⁠ The witness said she saw a man run down an escalator but fail to reach the train before the doors closed about 11:15 a.m. She says he jumped on to the track and then on to the back of the Ashburn-bound Silver Line train before it left the station.⁠ ⁠ The Metro Transit Police Department investigated a report of someone riding from outside and went to McPherson Square and neighboring stations but did not find the rider, Metro said.⁠ ⁠ Metro warns riding outside a train is illegal and dangerous. Offenders can be charged with trespassing and disorderly conduct.⁠ ⁠ A teenage girl died in an apparent Metro train surfing incident March 1. Train surfing is a dangerous activity in which someone rides a train from the outside or roof.⁠ ⁠ Another person died in a train surfing attempt on Metro in June of last year.⁠ ⁠ Photo credit: Ashkhen⁠ ⁠ #washingtondc #maryland #virginia #pgcounty #dc #districtofcolumbia #dmv #northernvirginia #alexandriava #northernva #arlingtonva #fairfaxcounty #nova #md #mocomd #pgcountymd #WMATA #DCmetro

A new safety and modernization push on the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority’s Red Line could bring platform screen doors and eventually fully automated trains, similar to a system already operating at Dulles International Airport. In his report, @tomroussey highlights the airport’s AeroTrain, which has run since 2010 with no onboard operator and uses platform screen doors to prevent passengers from falling onto tracks. The trains can reach speeds of about 42 mph and have operated without major issues for more than a decade. Metro officials are exploring installing similar platform doors on the Red Line and potentially transitioning to automated train operations within roughly six years, as part of broader efforts to improve safety and efficiency.

Watch for the double (?) doors! Metro is considering adding platform doors to stations so riders can be separated from the Metrorail tracks.

The new escalators at @reagan_airport Metro station are HOT TO GO! We’ve replaced all four escalators at the South entrance (11 DAYS ahead of schedule!) + new signage and tile to help guide your ride. Since 2021, we’ve replaced 92 out of 139 escalators as part of our escalator improvement project 🎉 (Always face forward on escalators. This stunt was performed by trained professionals 👍) #wmata

Hundreds of people crowded at Red Line Metro stations on Monday after train delays and mechanical issues relating to both the tracks and signals.⁠ ⁠ Some frustrated riders took to social media to air out their concerns, demanding refunds for Uber and taxi fares and complaining about a lack of communication on the delays.⁠ ⁠ According to some riders, the delays have continued even into Wednesday.⁠ ⁠ Have you seen these issues on Metro? Let us know, then learn more at the link in bio.⁠ ⁠ #redline #metro #wmata #metrodelays #commute #dc #washingtondc #transit #publictransit #transportation #randyclarke #dmv #dmvnews #md #maryland #virginia #va
