More Washington Metro Stupidity

It is still very clean. No grafitti. Some of the cars are getting really old and dingy, and the carpet needs replacing. They have been purchasing new cars to add to the system, and those are very nice, but they need a lot more.

The system as a whole is having severe financial problems, and that's causing congestion, delays, and elevator and escalator malfunctions. The Metro system is unique because it goes through two states and the District, so getting any one governmental organisation to consider it its "baby" and take care of it is very hard. Nobody wants to pay for it.
