I hate the zone fare system.Snicker, you'd never last a day in London or Berlin. :-) FWIW, I just put money and go ride. If I'm low, I add more. :-) The trains seem to accelerate much faster than those in NYC. They have a real nice pickup. Hell, I think with the exception of Boston, nearly every system out accelerates NYCTA, and that includes London... Many stations seem to be extremely deep-bore. Is there that much infrastructure under DC's streets that necessitated such deep stations? While others have given reasonable explanations, I suspect it's really to avoid pissing off people with cut and cover tunneling. but they are extremely slow FWIW, I haven't noticed in my previous trips that the escalators at WMATA were any slower than NYCTA's escalators. Mind you, I tend to just walk up the escalators unless I'm tired. |
