him. he could have told me i need money, i need timeoff, whatever. that is not what he said. he brought up a customer experience that he felt that we weren't addressing. so that just gave me, you know, that gave me chills. brianne: now days away from a year of single tracking and shut downs, does wiedefeld feel like he isn't the right person for this job? >> it might surprise you but i'm not the person for this job. it's all of us is the person for this job. if anyone thinks that i can do this job there is just no way. there is just no way. i need 193,000 people to be with me. brianne: in northwest washington, brianne carter, abc7 news. jonathan: today metro is operating on sunday schedule for the memorial day holiday. that means it will close at midnight. of friday the entire system will close at midnight every night as part of wiedefeld's safe track program. michelle: around the region this memorial day, president obama marked his final memorial day in office with the traditional r
