I recently went on a very long run in the DC area. While on this very long run I saw: many beautiful women in tight-fitting synthetics (a few of whom i followed closely behind until they gave me the usual "go tither" stare), two old men keel over and possibly die from heart attacks, and all the typical DC stuff (wash. monument, white house, capitol building, etc). I also rode the freaking awesome public transport system of the Washington/Balmtimore area known as the Metro. Let me tell you kids, this highly-engineered and thoroughly studied (not to mention complex, fast, and efficient) is the model of excellence that EVERY fucking transportation system in the world should be built upon. I rode the metro on every line, every stop; I wandered about each station; ate off the immaculate floors (I did recieve a few stares from that); all for the low, low price of about 6 dollars (which is basically all I could afford these days).
Oh. I kicked ass too:

For the record, the government subsidized the metro with billions of dollars to build the underground rail system which is why it is better than any other system. Septa for example is not subsidized at all. Since it is newer, it was built with newer technology designs as well. As an example, between each train stop, the track slopes down to about the midpoint and slopes up after that. This saves marginal energy on acceleration and wear and tear on brakes.
