I'm fine with it, and if you ride the DC Metro with any kind of regularity, you're for the food/drink ban as well. Last thing we need is wrappers, cups and all that other trash around.
Not to mention, because of Metro's budget problems, they've scaled back service workers at stations and trash bins, so there's nobody to pick up the existing trash of these idiots that decide they can drink and eat on the subway WHEN THERE ARE FUCKING SIGNS SAYING DON'T DO IT.
Every day there are annoucements and it's been engraved in my brain cause I hear it every day, "Customers of Metro are reminded it is unlawful to smoke, eat, drink or play audio or video devices without the use of headphones." Mostly it's the idiot tourists who stand on the left side of escalators while eating a Slim Jim who break this rule all night and day, frankly, I'm glad they took someone to task on it.
