WMATA and BART are similar: transit extensions into crazily suburban areas. Shady Grove and Bay Point anyone?The only similarities between bart and WMATA is at the fact that both are run on dedicated grade separated right of ways and both use a purpose designed signaling and automatic train control system. Bay Point is a hell of a lot further from downtown Oakland then Shady Grove is from downtown Washington. Shady Grove was added to the Adopted Regional System shortly after the ground was broken on the initial segment. One of the reasons why the station was added is there were no large tracts of land near the Rockville station to build an end of line yard and shop on without using eminent domain to take already developed residential property.
