We Should Rename Metro Center Purgatory Center

What a hallacious commute this morning!  It was my worst commute since the Metro accident year before last.  There was some problem that caused single tracking on the Blue/Orange, downtown.  So, that meant that trains in both directions were sharing the eastbound track.  What did that mean for me?  I spent almost a half hour on the platform, awaiting a train eastbound while five westbound trains serviced the station.
 
That's only part of the problem.  The other issue was the crush of people.  Metro seems to me to be completely broken, something to be avoided if possible.  It's sad.  Other folks also had commuting hell, but at other stations.  Metro does like to spread the misery around.
