Yeah my rational mind tells me that with 600k people riding the Metro every day, the chances of me actually running into a dangerous incident are fairly small.

Yeah my rational mind tells me that with 600k people riding the Metro every day, the chances of me actually running into a dangerous incident are fairly small. However, the chances of me running into a lengthy delay are pretty high. The crowding thing at rush hour is a huge pain, usually on the evening commute. Haven't actually ridden Metro since Silver line started up but I can't imagine that has lessened the crush.
