For years I have listened to how strapped for cash Metro is. Now the federal government finally is kicking in $20 million for Metro upgrades -- to accommodate a new baseball stadium [Metro, Feb 7]. What a case of twisted priorities.
Does Stafford County need a professional sports team to get the transportation upgrades it needs?

I ride Metro regularly from Court House to Metro Center and have seen the shortcomings of Metro's experiment with eight-car trains [Metro, Jan. 31]. At Court House I have experienced long waits, crowded stations and even more crowded trains. Any benefit from reduced Orange Line congestion is lost when riders must endure longer waits between trains, when people must trudge the length of the platform to find a car with space and when operators must stop longer at each station to allow passengers to exit packed trains.
