America is full of amazing subway systems, but the DC Metro is one of the most unique in the country. With a clean, minimal, and futuristic look, the Washington DC Metro has earned the title of America's most iconic Metro and the last great American Subway System. The DC Metro shares many similarities to the first Metro System, the London Underground.
Join me in this deep dive as we travel across the history of the London Underground and many of American Subway systems to understand how the Washington DC Metro earned such a prestigious title and why it took so long to be implemented in America's Capital.
I'll see you on the DC Metro!
