low. we'll take a look at potential changes for riders as the new general manager takes =qz%h @r(% a rocky start to cyber monday, the glitch that

metro's new leader took on his first day of work today and he's already starting or staring, that is, at a new

report at a new report about how unhappy customers are with delays and disruptions. that may be leading to a decision not to raise fares. transportation reporter adam tuss first broke this news about this new report. he is in vienna right now with more. . >> reporter: that's right, jim. if you ask metro riders if they feel they're getting what they pay for, a lot of them will say no. we are learning a fare hike is not part of the immediate future for metro riders. >> when you hop onboard you want a smooth trip and some do find it. no delays and for the most part in my ride i felt that we accomplished that today. >> reporter: so many say they aren't getting it from metro on the rails. >> a lot of construction, the weekend and a lot of delays and it's really tough to get around and the prices are still going

up. >> now as metro tries to also get its finances straight it says it will not be looking at any sort of fare increase for riders. paul wiedefeld tracking that idea. >> i don't think this is the time to ask people for more money when we're not performing to the level that we expect. >> reporter: metro's own analysis shows satisfaction on the rails is way down. take a look at this chart over the past two years, satisfaction was as high as 84% and now, however, it's plunged to just 67% and metro concedes that may be costing them riders. one way metro could be give back a proposal to give riders their money back when we decide to leave the same station they just entered because there's a huge delay and right now you still have to pay if you want to leave. a lot of frustration and a full plate for the new gm. >> reporter: now we should say that we are going to interview the new general manager tomorrow one-on-one. it's going to be his first

sitdown, television interview so you'll want to stay tuned for that. jim, back to you. >> thanks, adam. before you go, i heard you say there was no consideration of a fare increase, but didn't i hear you say earlier that metro rail is one of the most expensive in this country anyhow? >> reporter: yeah, it really is, jim. the max rail fare for metro rail is almost $6 for a one-way trip, second only to san francisco. so raising fares right now or any time in the near future is not going to be a popular idea at all. >> adam tuss. thanks, adam. cyber monday in full swing tonight, but the day got off to a rocky start for some. target's website crashed earlier today because of all of the traffic. paypal was also down for a short time, but both sites are back up and running right now. retailers are expecting a record breaking day with more than $3 billion in sales and that doesn't include those who logged on early. for the first time ever more people shopped online than stood in line on black friday.

four degrees and 7:00, 8:00, 9:00, we're talking showers and it's more of a steady, light rain than showers. look at the temperatures and 37 leesburg and cooler south and east of the i-95 area and a little bit cool tore the north and west and warmer to the south and east. >> the rainfall intensity and overnight tonight in through tomorrow and you'll need to take the small umbrella. light rain for sure and i think that will continue through tomorrow. wednesday is the day i expect heavier rain and that's the big umbrella day. here is the rain across our area and just about everybody is seeing the rain even where it's not picking up much rain around prince george's county and the clinton area and that will continue, too. and then we look back to the west and bringing the snow back to the midwest portion and what's going on right here around the memphis area? this is the next little wave

that will ride right into our area and right into tomorrow morning and tomorrow's forecast definitely calling for that rain and this is through wednesday. one inch plus and everyone in the purple has between one to two inches of rain and we are talking about a pretty good amount of rain and 48 degrees on tuesday and now the heaviest rain will come early on wednesday and later as the cold front moves on through and then the temperatures get better and it might be closer to average. average high temperature is 50, 55 degrees and average temperatures with plenty of sunshine and we'll take that. guys? >> thanks, doug. we've got sports coming up. guess who's in a tie for first place in the division? >> wow. >> stay tuned, we'll talk about it. >> first here's lester holt with

the danger of being overconfident getting ready to play the cowboys, i'm thinking to myself over what? >> over five and six. >> who believes over confident? how about oversurprised that they're in such good position at this point of the season. >> no one thought this team thought they would be in this position before the season kicked off. >> the redskins are in complete control of their playoff destiny. they have five games remaining on the schedule and all five of those opponents are below 500 football teams and carol maloney is out at redskins park on this victory monday and what did head coach jay gruden had to say about the season for his team

yesterday. jason, i'll paraphrase a little bit. he said get over it, basically. >> in first place in the division. remember in the preseason, nobody expected it and in the preseason many media outlets predicted the redskins to finish last in the league, espn, and now they're atop the division. how long will first last? time will tell, but having a strong run game and a strong defense, certainly, that's the winning formula on paper. against the giants skins were committed to the ground with 37 carries for 105 yards and good to see, alfred north break through with 78. two in the first half and also burning eli manning with three sacks and first multi-sack game of the season for the showstopper. the feel-good sunday. he warned the only way to make it last is to let it go. don't get too excited reading the paper and don't pat yourself

on the back over a win and don't beat yourself up too bad over a loss and we have to stay consistent in our approach and we have been for the most part. we have to figure out how to put back-to-back gains for a while. making sure they practice hard and understand what's at stake here and the importance of us getting the most out of every individual and continue to stay on them and just playing fast and having fun doing it. >> so what or what stands in the way of the redskins and the division title? the schedule includes three nfc east teams and it's a road game in chicago back at home against the bills and two division road games wrap it up at philly and dallas. so as you mentioned, jason, not one team remaining on the schedule has a record better than the redskins. so you're saying there is a chance. you remember what the redskins

did to the boys last year? you know revenge will be on their mind. back to you. >> that game was in dallas. colt mccoy, he started and played phenomenal. they went to dallas and shot the cowboys. carol, thanks so much. the redskins will play the cowboys next monday night and tonight's showdown matchup will feature the baltimore ravens and the cleveland browns. >> moving over to college football now and virginia tech introduced its new head football coach today. that would be justin, and the man on the left all smiles with hokeys hd with babcock. he spent the last four seasons at memphis and the tiger s win their first conference championship since 1971 and big shoes to fill coming out of frank beamer and it's what drew fuente to blacksburg. >> the tradition and this is big-time college football and we all want our shot at coaching at

the highest level and this is obviously a program that's had tremendous success, and you do have to follow a legendary coach, however, but i really believed in everything i've heard about the way this place went about its business, and i wanted to be a part of it. >> the wizards have released forward martel webster. he was with the team since 2012. that year webster put up his best numbers and injuries have held him back and his back and hip have slowed him down tremendously. he had hip surgery on november 20th and the organization, ryan hollins to a non-guaranteed contract. >> before the season, the wizards were the third best team in the east and they might be the sixth or seventh best team in the eastern conference. >> you know what i think about when wye get ready to meet the cowboys and i think it was jimmy johnson's first year and they

were 0 and 15 or whatever and then on thanksgiving day, lord, have mercy, who did they play but us and we were smoking at the time and they smoked us and
