Why does MTA keep these little stations in operation? Stops like Garret Park, Washington Grove, and Boyds for example. It seems these stations support about 20 people grand total on a good day. And they're only a few minutes from a major stop like Gaithersburg, Kensington, or Germantown. You can almost see Gaithersburg from Washington Grove. By doing away with these stops, you get longer high speed stretches and can shave about 10 minutes off the schedule. Less fuel due to less starting up from a stop. And they wouldn't need to waste money on keeping the stations in operation. I'm all 5 people that use Washington Grove would be sad to see it go. But really? It's not a bus.
