Riding the Washington D.C. Metro System

[@victort.4798]

I love the DC Metro!! I can't ride it much now in the pandemic so it's nice to get a virtual tour. One time I visited every station in DC and MD in one day (it took like 6 hours lol) but I didn't think to video it. I was going to do the VA side but then the pandemic started. At this point might as well wait for the Silver Line to open (you said 2020 but it's 2021 and still no opening, rip)

Great video mate! Loved the in-depth look at DC’s Metro system... Big like from me!

[@thejazzguy13]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!

The WMATA has 1 big problem and that is, there is no express service because it is a 2 track system. Unlike other systems such as the MTA 3-4 tracks per line, there are only 2 tracks at the wmata so trains can only go at one speed and will need to stop at every station. I've always thought they should have built at least three tracks so that even if you aren't doing express service (which the WMATA definitely needs) if and when you are doing extended servicing on the tracks it wouldn't slow down service because of single tracking. I thought they would have learnt this lesson when they were building the new silver line but they don't seem to have because even this new silver line doesn't have the necessary 3 tracks as they opted to build only 2 tracks.

5:45 that's a really cool illusion it looks like you're stepping onto a train moving at full speed

[@MeTeach2]

Very well done as always. I’m planning visiting D.C once the Silver line extension opens.

[@thejazzguy13]

Thank you! Cool, silver line is awesome and should be great once it’s done

[@dreamyyx_3762]

The Silver Line phase 2 should open in 2020... I will ride thw first train there... :D

[@j_5042]

@@dreamyyx_3762 I'd ride the first older one there lol

[@stevenkelly2477]

D_angiscool :D it’s 2021 now....due to red tape by Dulles Airport..

[@InsaneNuYawka]

Thanks for this extensive tour ! I love all the details

[@tameikabrown2542]

thx for nice wonderful all the around different Metro station's In DC showing us the different Metro line's

[@cdrematt]

Wow, it's been so long since I was last in DC (excluding changing planes at National) that the Silver line hadn't even debuted yet. I really need to go again when/if travel gets back to normal. I didn't even scratch the surface when I was there last time.

who fucking cares

[@3506Dodge]

I've become fascinated watching the final days of the 'before times.' Will they ever return?

[@car_tar3882]

I hope not every ten min red line with half terminating silver spring 💀

[@Rhomega]

Heading to DC in April. I understand the system better now.

[@sleeken]

I really love the metro it’s just awesome and i don’t have to explain why

[@laffiegreen9668]

Barely saw the green line 😄

[@stevenkelly2477]

Laffie Green ....Huh mannnn.

[@tameikabrown2542]

what would be amazing the Metro trains had a little dip In the track's after the Metro's leave the station's and dipped down or up this site would be amazing nice

[@p11111]

What's with these new metallic industrial-looking trains? They look absolutely horrendous.

[@stevenkelly2477]

vptes1 7000 series

[@twcfanc24]

I love the black front and back but the sides are ugly

[@victort.4798]

They're the new trains. They're everywhere now

[@GratiaCountryman]

I really like the 7000 series. The seating is very comfortable, and it’s easy to look up and know exactly how far you are from your stop.

[@narvemunoz467]

Which song is the one that sounds at the beginning of the video?

[@tailormade3072]
