we talked with dc councilman jack evans earlier and he spoke about the need for the cutback time. >> it's a tough one and i recognize that but we need track time. there's no, metro is a flawed system. we were getting 19 hours a week of repair, that just doesn't work. >> reporter: we spoke with metro riders a little bit earlier. it was a little bit busier. we got interesting reactions how they were going to deal with it and whether or not it was going to be big in their lives. >> i'm interested in seeing how that might affect the ubers and all that and seeing the prices with that. >> the weekends aren't really what i'm worried about. it's the week, day drama that's going to transpire. >> a lot of people take metro to get home late at night. we're teenagers. we hang out, and when you don't have metro as a fall-back that's bad. >> shutting do you know at midnight, that's going to destroy dc night life personally. >> people have to expect the metro to break down instead of actually coming on time is -- i don't know. >> i think i'm going to have to rebiking. >> reporter: that's the answer
