The Washington Metro failed to serve and traffic was paralyzed

When the Washington subway did not serve, traffic was paralyzed: traffic on a daily average basis caused the density of traffic in the Washington subway system, where the service was not able to provide service due to maintenance in the electric cables.
As the metro line in Washington DC, the capital of the USA, could not serve for the maintenance and repair of the electrical cables, transportation brought to a halt.
As the Washington metro system, where the daily average 700 thousand flights were made, was unable to serve, the employees had to go on their bikes or buses, while others preferred the taxi.
From the states of Virginia and Maryland to Washington DC, heavy traffic was observed from the early hours of the morning, it was noteworthy that the prices of Uber, one of the most used taxi companies, increased approximately 3-4 times.
Authorities, around the 600 metro system will be maintained in the vicinity of the cable announced.
The subway was closed for the first time since 1976, when it started service, except for bad weather. One person died and 2015 people were injured in the fire that broke out in the L'Enfant Plaza stop in Washington DC in 86.
