Inside Metro’s Plans to Return to Automatic Train Operations

[PeachyRailEnthusiast]

We have automatic trains on the London Underground and has no issues with ATO

[Delta]

WMATA is increasing fares for paying customers while thousands of freeloading fare jumpers get free rides!! The hell with that!!

[Mississippinene]

The deadly auto train was taken on the redline by fort Totten and Brookland-CUA

[chrisng]

Definitely! the Vancouver Skytrain has been completely automatic since the 80's, and the trains can come as frequent as every 180 seconds

[robroc]

Sounds good, but what happnes when the auto system fails to stop at the station??🤔

[Nerdy_dude]

One more step will people lose their jobs. Great job WMATA

[brett]

Goodbye jobs. I feel bad for those people that have lost their jobs because of automation or reduced business.

Over reliance on technology can be bad. Look at all the plane crashes, caused by technology, getting bad data. You still need human operators.
