My three reasons to push were: access (Capitol Hill is, it turns out, a hill! And a steep one at that!), trolley preservation, and fairness for lack of another word (we can't just suspend service and then cancel it years after anyone could have ridden it).<br></div><div><br></div><div>Metro saw the light and saw it our way and that's awesome.
