This is essentially WMATA going on strike for a day to protest lack of funding which causes deferred maintenance which causes electrical fires.

It's gonna suck for many riders, especially given the limited amount of express bus/commuter service to/from Washington DC, which would not be able to withstand potential increase in ridership tomorrow. Commuter rail service is limited too, with the exception of MRC's Penn Line. It's gonna be really hectic tomorrow for many commuters.

Lol. The MTA deals with this literally every day. They certainly don't throw a tantrum and close everything down. There's billions of dollars at stake up here, at least.
