City Cast DC

Why Georgetown Doesn’t Have A Metro Stop, And Other Explanations


Listen Later

If you live on the Red Line, you know it’s been a summer of Metro closures — which makes it a great time to check out one of our favorite early City Cast episodes. We sat down with Metro historian Zack Schrag and transit planner Matt Johnson to talk about one of my favorite pastimes: Making up fantasy Metro lines that can get you exactly where you want to go. Or, at least, talking about why they can’t quite happen in real life.
