Metro’s Twitter Goes Bilingual

Your ATM does it. Your kid’s toys do it. Even Disneyland does it.
Now, Metro joins the club by tweeting in both English and Spanish [1]. That’s very nice of them, unless you don’t want to read the exact same update twice. The tweet pictured above popped up this morning – four minutes after an identical update in English. Nobody likes a repeater. Nobody likes a repeater.
Maybe it’s time for Metro to run separate accounts?
Tal vez es hora de metro para ejecutar cuentas separadas?
