With all of the talk lately about who drew that red line in the sand in Syria, we know who’s responsible for drawing the red line through Washington, D.C. That would be the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, and its red line today is causing its own set headaches in the nation’s capital.
More issues on Metro's red line overnight, but @wmata says no service disruptions for your Friday commute. http://t.co/7onKylehL6

But Metro guaranteed there would be no service disruptions! Photos and tweets of the D.C. gridlock suggest otherwise.

Hey @wmata how about you have trains disable anytime but rush hour and that too on a Friday. Thanks #redline #massivedelays

Thank goodness for the 96 bus, my chariot away from the @wmata red line hell that is this evening's rush hour commute

“@aadragna: Recommend everyone in #DC stay away from the #redline if you can.http://t.co/FgbbXegFny” Why is it always the damned red line?

Solid policy advice for everyone in Washington: stay away from red lines.
