News4s Meagan Fitzgerald is there and spoke with customers about the rocky start to the morni morning. They were fired up. Reporter they were, angie. If you had to sum up the sentiment among many of the passengers it would be frustration. That i came they came here thinking they would kick off the workweek, riding on metro. They stood on this plat form here, waiting for that new 7000 series train car to roll through here. They thought theyd have a comfortable ride and instead they waited on this platform and experienced delays. Something a lot of folks said was an all too familiar experience with metro. It was five minutes after that new 7000 series car was expected on the track when the train in front of it stalled. Passengers were told to get off because of mechanical issues which caused even more delays. Finally at around 6 15 the new train car rolled through on the opposite track just as the stalled car was being towed away. A lot of folks are saying they have had enough. I have been through the breakdrowns and the derailments this month. Its been pathetic. Reporter now, we have seen one of the new 7000 series train cars roll through here. Theyre expected to be more comfortable for the riders, not having the carpet inside. Instead, having the nonskid floor. Flat screen monitors but passengers tell us it got overshadowed for a lot of them because of the delays.
