Good Article. I thought about this last year when we had that string of near 115F temperatures. I wondered if under the extreme conditions, The Bus/WMATA would idle the buses at the bus bay (which they usually do). However, for some reason, the drivers were pulling off to sit in the driveway until departure time. Grr. There could be a cheap fix that would increase customer comfort. Does WMATA even notice these things?

Personally, I think the pedestrian/bike access is a bigger issue at Greenbelt. Greenbelt Metro Drive needs to be repaved desperately and safe places for bikes to be away from potholes, pedestrians, and drivers (and buses!) speed to the terminal. Pedestrians need a safer walkway to the terminal, not dodging cars in the parking lot.

@Jasper - It could happen at all locations, but it is extreme at Greenbelt. Shady Grove East is pretty open, but I was able to find a lone tree.
