- The rates aren't flat, you pay somewhere between $2-5 for a one-way trip.
- There aren't a lot of lines, or at least no loop. The system really exists just to get commuters in and out of the city
- I often see tourists confused, and I can see why - it's not immediately clear which line you need to be on, or where you need to go
- Why aren't Farragut West and Farragut North connected? It makes no sense. And if I enter a station and leave immediately, why am I still charged? The system knows exactly how long I was there.
- Trains catch on fire more often than I would like.
In DC's defense, I will say that our rail system is better than either Houston or Atlanta.

Compared to TX, the mass transit here is amazing. Compared to cities like New York or Chicago, the rail system here is sad.

I know that USCP has not sent out any such alert.

Dunno if they deliver, but Pho Viet is definitely my favorite. I think PhoNatics is also pretty good, although I tend to get banh mi when I'm there

Pho 14 used to be good, but it's really gone downhill over the past few years.

No worries. Sounds like you had no issues while you were here, which is great!
Btw, I did live in TX for 13 years, before moving up here.
