Whassamatta, WMATA?

After a fare increase this summer, Metro wants another one. I have an idea - why not just make tourists pay more? Many don't bring cars with them and the rest are so completely lost getting around town that they're a captive audience.

Raise the cost of a day pass. If people pay per ride, that's even better because they'll inevitably end up with extra change on the cards they'll never use again -- free money. If they complain, just tell them to ask their congressional delegations to support voting rights. It's snippy and profitable -- just the way I like things.
