I think you are being a bit extreme here. One has to realize that it is a domino effect. 1st, a shutdown means literally a shut down. No movement for a period of time. All vehicles are on lock down as a result of record accumulations.
Also, as I stated before, many people had to ride the metro as either their vehicles were blocked at metro lots or they weren't able to meter park around their offices due to snow banks. Some people opted to take the train rather than bus as an alternative because of varying emergency routes. Many of the buses were sideline until roads were cleared. This means more people on the metro as snow detours are lifted slowly.
Also, snow removal is labor billed so it's not a matter of turning on the sprinklers and shazam, snow away. DC isn't equipped as it doesn't get hit like some of the northern cities. All these little factors play a huge role in the overall big picture of "safety".
This post literally makes like zero sense. 40 minute train waits = snowedin buses? K.
