And DC has them in constant supply. I will admit that WMATA can handle things a bit better than they currently do and the fact that a lot of WMATA's infrastructure is aging fast (10% of escalators broken, 5% of cars with broken AC, several underground stations with broken AC) doesn't help matters.

Case in point: train malfunctioned this morning in AM rush at Judiciary Square towards Shady Grove. I was on the first train that got out when it got cleared (after a nearly 20 minute wait at Farragut North). For some reason, the train held at Cleveland Park and Van Ness for brief periods, then held for 6 minutes at Tenleytown so "the trains behind us could catch up". Would this ever happen in any other city with a two-track setup?
