1994? That was way back before they ordered the CAF cars, Rehabilited the Breda Cars, and ordered the Alstom cars. As of today, they needed the newer cars for the extension of lines resulting new stations constructed. I love the future that Metro is facing.

Why do they call that station METRO CENTER?

[KHShox]

It is where all the lines of Metro meet.

Not green or yellow

[Fyuzseion]

green and yellow meet there. red does not

[buddybuddy0920]

If you look at a map you will see that green and yellow do not pas through and the red line does.

Red, Blue and Orange lines meet at Metro Center, but Green and Yellow lines dont.

[IProphetI]

A number of possible reasons. If you look at the Metro map, you would see that Metro Center is almost directly in the center of Washington, DC. Either that or it could be that its where they began construction of the Metro rails.

Was in DC the other day for a convention...the Metro can be very noisy especially when it is stuffed with people but it is very fun to ride most of the time.

the metro is awesome and we never call it the subway. but i was wonderin if they are manually or computer controlled cuz i kno they are equipped with ATO.

[mohaas05]

they are computer controlled but a conductor sits in the front to make announcements and manually take control if necessary.
