His press conferences and statements to the press are about as lack luster as Fenty. Sometimes it is best to keep quiet, than keep giving information that proves your lack of handling the situation.

Replace him, please. His "can't do" attitude towards the train part of transit sucks. He did fine with the buses, but he has run the metro train system into the ground. Experiment over. Catoe blows.

That is, & has always been, Metro's "back up system" in case the sensors fail. It is somewhat academic to me, though, since I rarely ride the trains, maybe just a couple times a month when I have a hearing to go to down at Judiciary Center. I usually walk or ride to the bus to & from work & Georgetown, & just occasionally drive.
