MARC - the commuter train in Maryland is out of control

MARC has no accountability to its customers / passengers. It is particularly aggregous when we when train 538 broke down and we were forced to sit for over 90 minutes in very hot temperatures in a crowded train that had temperatures of over 110 degrees with no ventilation. All the passengers who were healthy enough to avoid visits to the hospital received was an apology. Took me more than 4 hours to get home on Monday June 21, 2010.
