Media covering transit forget that children exist

D.C. Metro riders can now enter the system simply by tapping a credit card at the fare gate — no fare card needed.

Frida Ghitis : It's no worse than it was for such a family last month , but it’s certainly not what they were promised by the Washington news media.

She says media coverage of this development failed to mention that you cannot use the same card to swipe in multiple riders.

Ghitis says this is something of a pattern in the media. It never even considers the idea of children.
