19. DC's light rail is proposed from one Metro (subway) station to another....
both on the Green Line - SW Waterfront to Anacostia. I guess only because we only have about six bus lines following the same route - with a transfer required, of course, so it costs as much as the train, but takes 8x longer.

Want to know why we have multiple bus routes following the same route as the subway? So many people are terrified of going underground (I've asked), an identical service is duplicated, above-ground with buses and, soon, light rail.

Meanwhile, as rates and ridership rise, WMATA keeps pushing for further rate increases. Their accountants must be Wall St. rejects.
