Metro is a travel hack.

The DC Metro is really a feat of engineering and the US hasn't built anything half as nice since. We can barely build streetcars anymore.

I used this short stretch from RI Ave to Dupont Circle to get to The Clash show in Feb 1979. They didn't expand the system to a usable size until 1983 or so. Then it could get you around. 1979 not so much. Massive holes all over the city to dig these tunnels made a mess for all the 70s and early 80s.

I wish the newer metros looked like this. The 7000 series lacks character and the seats are horrendously uncomfortable in comparison to the 1000-6000 series trains. The older ones may look outdated but they are far more appealing than the 7000 series (at least in my eyes). Plus it's a style the district knows so well. An icon if you will.

Oh and I wish the escalator hum would come back. It's not gone entirely but it's disappearing very quickly. I know reliability was a problem but I wish they could fix that and keep the hum that signifies to anyone looking for the metro that they've found it.

This short video clip is a joke. The metro system was brand new back then so it was nothing to complain about as much. 40 years later our DC metro system is complete trash. You can't depend on metro for anything anymore. Not even to get to work on time. New York City's metro is one of the oldest and it never seems to have any problems with it. Our metro system has been running for over 40 years and it's a problem every single day every single week with it. Our DC metro system is just complete trash👎🏻
@washingtondc9290 4 ай бұрын
Don't get me wrong Metro has it's problems however it's better than most US cities, like Detroit, Baltimore or Atlanta, DC is hands down one of the best, the only metro that can compete is New York simply because the way that it runs, and the hours of operation, Chicago is another OK one,
