Having too much credit accessible makes you seem risky to creditors, as you could quickly and effortlessly burden yourself by means of extra money owing than you can handle. On the other hand, if you have only one credit card obtainable to you, you are extra or total of at the mercy of the issuing bank's terms and conditions. By having extra than one card, you are letting the bank know they are not your just credit options.

I have no problem with complaining about the current situation (as it is really ridiculous), but at least try to provide some sort solution rather than ranting for 5 paragraphs. The fact of the of the matter is that metro doesn't have the funding (and hasn't had it for years I might add) to actually provide the quality of service we've come to accept. The system is old and pretty much needs to be completely overhauled, and that doesn't come cheap. funny, you complain about the lack of investment in preventative maintenance and capital improvements, yet you lambaste them for raising revenue so that can at least commit half-heartedly to those needs.

Anybody else starting to feel like riding Metro's become an extreme sport???
