I'm not sure it should be though.  Have you ever had the pleasure of being
in the Crystal City station during high school tourist season?  Pure
mayhem...it's not a very intuitive system.  Personally, any system with
one pass = one ride makes it much easier.

Nah...it wasn't confrontational enough to be me.  I do think, however, we
should charge those people traveling from point-to-point in DC more than
the $1.10 it usually is.  Us suburbanites subsidize DC's metro with our $3
fares.  ;-)
