The fares aren't high if you stay in Washington. NYCTA would probably charge distance based fares if it had lines beyond the city limits.

Washington, DC covers an area of 68.3 square miles, if you include Arlington County and most of the City of Alexandria it's 100 square miles, the 5 boroughs of New York City covers an area of 468.9 square miles.

The WMATA compact covers an area of 1,500 square miles, that is more then 3 times greater then then area served by NYCT.

Here are the length in miles of the 5 lines on WMATA:
21.941 Yellow line
22.878 Green line
26.067 Orange line
29.766 Blue line
33.465 Red line
Length in miles from urban core to terminals
08.936 Gallery Place to Branch Avenue
09.817 Metro Center to New Carrollton
10.201 Metro Center to Largo
10.944 Gallery Place to Greenbelt
12.708 Metro Center to Glenmont
12.835 Metro Center to Vienna
15.549 Metro Center to Shady Grove
And just for poops grins
34.943 Silver line (Stadium-Armory - Ryan Road (VA-277) Ashburn)
42.492 Silver line (New Carrollton - Ryan Road (VA-277) Ashburn)
43.050 Silver line (Largo - Ryan Road (VA-277) Ashburn)

26.542 Metro Center to Ryan Road (VA-277) Ashburn
