This may be out of scope, but since I’m always happy to talk: it was the prospect of SafeTrack in 2016 (when the red line was closed for much of November between Fort Totten and NoMa, similar to now) that led me to commuting more by bike (with daughter in tow for school) from our home in Brookland/Edgewood…

Debatable given the duration, but there is something to be said for having a total shutdown to just completely remove Metro as an option.
