The Future Metro Car....

Well the metro doesn't have any money, had to raise rates just to make up budget shortfalls, still can't get their trains to work, have enough cars, or run on time...when they do run, but they love to dream. Especially about new models of rail cars. They are currently planning to produce the next generation of cars 5 years from now.

The new cars would feature the following:

• Stainless steel exteriors instead of an aluminum car body.
• Thinner, stronger stainless steel seats that offer more leg room. Each car would have 64 cloth-padded, taller seats with seat-back grab handles.
• A total end to carpeting. Floors would be rubberized.
• Interactive maps on LCD screens that would also likely display advertisements
• Automated station announcements. So no more "Judishuwary Square".
• Security cameras on all rail cars.

I would love to see all of that (Except the automated announcements, some conductors are entertaining) but I would like a well running metro with working trains and enough cars rather than a few running trains half hour behind and only 4 cars. But hey I would have a fancy LCD showing me the latest Viagra Ad!
