Someone better call the paw patrol

Anyone curious and not in the know:
This is the station information screen in a Washington D.C. Metro (subway) station.
First column is Line, blue, blue, orange.
Car is how long the train is. (This one is pretty obvious)
Destinations are Foggy Bottom, Largo, and New Carrollton.
Last column is how many minutes until the train arrives and the floor lights start blinking.
The DC Metro is great, and it hardly ever catches on fire.
I enjoyed these facts!
Especially the last one!
Hello Washington DC
Honestly the most impactful part of my trip to DC as a kid was getting to take the metro everywhere. It was my first time using public transit and, from a tourist perspective at least, it’s actually good. Also the brutalist architecture is amazing.
I’ve had to work in some of those buildings, not great. The neoclassical buildings are a lot more people friendly. Some of those brutalist buildings have no interior windows, just endless back-rooms style halls and cube farms.
Brutalism is cool to visit but shitty to live in.
DC Metro is one of the best subway systems in the US. It actually goes to suburbs too which is really awesome.
Ugh, the brutalist tunnels brought my depression from a 10 to 100
Maryland and Northern Virginia are getting dangerously close to being “public transportation friendly” but basically every time WMATA tries to expand and the MTA tries to expand it’s shocking how things always fall apart and take forever.
I bet all of us in the DMV would vote to extend the metro system across Maryland and down to Richmond but instead we get toll roads.
I thought this was Gen Alpha slang.
lol
Largo.
My favorite spot for a vacation tbh
