Metro invited a group of bloggers to meet with General Manager John Catoe this afternoon.

Michael Perkins and I will be there. We have some questions, but can you suggest some we didn’t think of? Naturally, we want questions that try to ascertain useful information about Metro’s operations or Catoe’s thinking about how to improve things, not ones that attack him or the authority and would just put him in a defensive mode.

Catoe has a lot of management experience and probably has a lot of ideas for how WMATA can do better; we’d benefit from hearing his opinions and finding ways to help him implement the good ideas.
