Reply to comment by digitall565 in The Silver Line to Dulles is a bigger deal than I thought it would be by MrMoustachio55

DC metro is also way cleaner. Like the dirtiest metro station I have ever been is cleaner than the cleanest NYC subway station.

The NYC metro has about a hundred years on DC and stations of varying ages/grit. City’s are gritty, especially old east coast cities.

I mean, sure, but Metro ridership is less than 1/10 of New York’s, according to pre-pandemic figures. Personally I’d opt for the functional but dirty system, but that’s just me.

You wait in those stations for at most 1-2 minutes though. The sheer number of trains running is a game changer and makes getting around up there a lot easier than in DC

For sure, don't disagree, just saying Metro is WAY cleaner

I mostly agree with this…though metro center and gallery place can get to that nyc level.
