Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Pentagon City Metro
With declining bus ridership, increasing pension costs for workers and ride hailing services changing the local transportation ecosystem, how is Metro keeping up? Could installing amenities like DVD rental boxes at Metrorail stations, adding service during off-peak hours, or rethinking the bus system help? We discuss the challenges Metro faces now –and the solutions officials are considering for the future– with General Manager Paul Wiedefeld.
