Those who frequent the Foggy Bottom Metro station almost expect that at least one of the three escalators into the station will not be functional.

And Metro has taken notice.

The Washington Area Metropolitan Transit Association will bring in an outside expert this week to assess the chronic outages that plague the Foggy Bottom – as well as several other – area Metro stations, the Washington Post reported Wednesday.

The expert will “spend several weeks on the assessment and will specifically look into problems at the Woodley Park, Bethesda, Dupont Circle and Foggy Bottom stations,” according to the Post.
