He leads the university of district of Columbia Electrical Engineering Department where senior student project could include submitting recommendations to metro on how to fix the mounting problems. Laku says issue here aging system that was neglected so long it will take a lot to get it back on track. The worst thing here i think is systemic problems that need to be fixed at some point. And i think we would have to find a way to schedule some way of looking at every part of the lines. He says that would require a shut down lasting much longer than one day.
