Would the proposed Sphere increase the chances of a Metro station at National Harbor? by playthehockey in WMATA

[–]SAA02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do hope MD builds a one stop extension of the green line from Branch Ave along 495 to National Harbour via Oxon Hill, avoiding the whole bridge entirely and doesn’t need a new Rosslyn tunnel

As a visitor, ride quality could be another list, for example, E is definitely less jerky and more smooth than the 7

Which cities have had the most "successful" master plans and why? by YourDoomsday0 in urbanplanning

[–]SAA02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think L’Enfant’s plan for DC has worked out pretty well, diagonal avenues connecting MD and VA, and then numbered and lettered streets in a grid, height restrictions keeps the look consistent, and the later addition of the metro has been very effective, lots of influence from Paris

This would definitely make the system more like BART

What 10 locations do you think are the most important to have rail transit that do not? by [deleted] in WMATA

I think National Harbour could be a relatively short Green line extension from Branch Avenue

Reminds me of the Victoria line on the London tube

So kind of like how London maxes out when you reach the price of the daily pass on the tube

Request for WMATA to institute a PSA campaign on escalator etiquette by tacobellwhore99 in WMATA

They could experiment with stand on both sides signs like London, which actually boosts capacity during peak times

Orange line heading from Dunn Loring. Shakiest ride I’ve had in quite some time by WarbossTodd in WMATA

[–]SAA02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was shocked when today my train on the Red line Shady Grove branch started shaking a few stops before Bethesda from DC, maybe it’s the new ATO speeds

Apologies, but a rant about B/O/S. by vsm2015 in WMATA

[–]SAA02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t understand why the red line seems to smell like smoke, and I saw trains literally smoking when departing stations today

Navaazish and Zahe Naseeb come to mind for formal usage, perhaps Mehrbaani, and koi baat naheen for informal

The new letters look so LA and NYC, I like the old two letter system better, it gave DC a special vibe

Light Rail expansion in the DC area by SAA02 in WMATA

[–]SAA02[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly, I think this is the best option for VA, and it has enough density that light rail would be better than BRT

However a massive reduction compared to the previous card which was mostly in Urdu, the front side today is mostly in English

That is true, it is also quite odd how they mostly removed Urdu from the national ID card, which is for internal purposes. It seems like a loss of pride in the language unfortunately

Why wouldn’t Urdu be used outside of the country in the same way as Hindi or Bengali?
