The meager coverage of the DART disruption last Monday masked major problems with the city’s public transportation system. It can’t handle minor storms with 20- to 30-mph winds.

The power outage that caused havoc with the trains lasted all afternoon and all evening, all supposedly due to a tree limb that fell on one train.
Many families, including the very old and the very young, had to wait for more than two hours at the Baylor station after 5 p.m. Monday to board buses that came sporadically to pick up fairgoers.
There was no order or police supervision to help passengers get on these buses, and a riot nearly ensued.
Then DART wonders why they can’t get more riders on their trains.
