4000 series cars still buzz, just as they did when this video was shot 14 years ago (has it really been that long, I'm getting old). Anyway, If you want to here buzzing, catch a ride on the 4000 series cars now because the buzzing maybe gone in 4 years (which will be a sad day because I too remember the buzzing from my childhood).

I actually remember riding DC Metro almost daily during the 1990s as a kid. And for some reason, I always considered the Breda "buzzing" trains my favorite to ride on. The new ones aren't as nostalgic. I'd really like it if Metro brought back those kind of trains.

few things I wanna say about this vid

1. I was just about as old as those kids at 3:27

2. this camera has better quality than some of the cameras people use today

3. maybe it's me, but it seems like the 4000s don't buzz like this anymore (maybe not as loud at least, with the buzzing being drowned out from the nearby Alstrom/CAF cars)

4. If anyone is looking for these 4000s, check the red line, I see them there ALL the time

I wish I could go to the early 90s as a 21 year old and not an infant

This door chime is the really old school one from the 70's or 80's.

What I appreciated of the DC subway is how clean they are kept compared to other subways specially New York city's graffiti covered trains

@dragonpullman while the buzzing is still around, its very unlikely u will get a buzz car...they run the newer trains alot more

I just uploaded a video titled, "DC Metro is a Straight Up Fucking Scam." If you ride the Metro, you ought to check it out.

I remember riding the DC Metro in the mid 90's. I'm one of the few people who don't miss that "buzzing" sound.

I like the sound the newer trains make better. Plus, once you go inside its like totally quiet other than tunnel and track noises. I also like the new color scheme and LED desination signs. Its more modern. I love the new trains.. I can't wait for all the old ones to leave.

no that dumbass voice recording didn't exist back in 1994. and after that it was simply "doors opening" and "door closing". nows its

that annoying extra long recording. damn i miss the old days.

I was 7 years old in July 1994; it would've been really cool if I was born 20 years earlier (which would have made me aged 27 at the time and had been a working man for 10 years); I would've really enjoyed riding the original Breda 2000/3000 Series train cars with the legendary brown rubber-coated handrails, those were probably the signature train cars on Metrorail (even though the Rohrs were the very first cars from '76). BTW, there's a pretty blonde girl near the end of this video.
