Just think... we could have been exploring the stars by now...
>>2065249I live along the yellow line, I transfer to the blue line for work. It's a nice subway. Does anyone ride the purple line though? It seems entirely pointless.
>>2065249>the blue line still ends at Franconia-Springfield. It needs to cross the Occoquan at minimum.
>>2065249Mass transit systems should be designed where people actually go, not just arbitrary colored lines on a map. The Washington METRO was designed to get from people from the more suburban areas to the inner core of the city where the tourism and governmental offices are.
>>2065402Honestly, the metro is almost the only good thing about living in DC. It's clean and punctual compared to other metros. We also have a lot of good Salvadorian food, but those places tend to be in the hood so I only get them when I got some guys with me.
>>2065249What's the problem here?
>>2065554It’s not reality.
>>2065382Purple line is stupid yeah. Even people in the centers should just be given bus routes or trolleys or bike lanes/parking to the train.
>>2065382Does the purple line even exist? I mean, I haven't rode on the metro in awhile, but I think this map is fake. I don't think the pink line exists either. And the yellow line terminates at Huntington. There are no metro stops at West Potomac or Mount Vernon or Fort Belvoir. And it would be impossible to even set those up without uprooting a ton of people's residential neighborhoods. I literally went to high school at West Potomac and its in the middle of a residential neighborhood. There's nowhere to put a metro station there without tearing down a bunch of peoples homes. I feel like this map was made by some retarded civil engineering transplant.

>>2066489>he doesn’t know Bro, it’s what someone wishes WMATA could be.
>>2066527I think its pretty fine as it is though. There's no point to whats in the OP pic except like, metromaxxing for the sake of it.
>>2066499wmata destroys tkmty in system/station design it's not close. toei chika is even worse. like wtf is iidabashi. how can almost every major transfer point be so awful on a (mostly) masterplanned system. the marunouchi ginza akasaka mitsuke transfer being fantastic of course. most of toei's own transfers are outside the fare gates or even outside the station!! a real no latch inhibitor. why is shinjuku sanchome designed such that the transfer corridor is so low capacity it has to be closed during rush and you are forced to go upstairs and exit gates instead?? its like after the second line was built, every line was treated as just an extension of whatever private railway it links up to with no thought to how it interacts with the rest of the so called "network"

what if stuff was just near you ?
>>2065249>Green Line extension into Southern PG and down to Waldorf>Cross-Potomac connection from National Harbor to AlexandriaI'd be so happy
>>2068486>Cross-Potomac connection from National Harbor to AlexandriaThe Wilson Bridge has provisions to run WMATA rail lines on the inside of both inner spans right next to vehicle traffic. The long term goal is to turn the Blue line into a loop and shift it north of the National Mall and route it down through SE between the Green line and the Potomac. Eventually, it goes from National Harbor to Huntington, and the Yellow line goes to Franconia.
>>2065249My "town" has 1 bus every 3 hours lol
