As the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) moves forward on their budget process, it is becoming increasingly likely that bus and rail service will be cut--resulting in a loss of jobs unless financial aid comes to the system. These budget woes, part of a national economic recession, are coming at a time of record ridership and after the agency successfully hauled approximately 1.5 million people into and out of the city for Barack Obama's Inauguration.
