Inside the Tabloid
Is WMATA a corporation? a former colony seeking U.N. recognition? a private business owned by a millionaire recluse living in St. Thomas? a contraction for the expression what is the matter . see page 3.
If you have not used Metro, but want to appear as though you have, read page 4 carefully.
Also, begin WMATA history in the footnotes on pages 4 through 17.
If you are handicapped or travel with someone who is, a quick review of page 5 may be helpful.
Some useful facts about using Metrobus are contained on page 6.
For solid information on what has changed since public take-over of Washington's four bus systems, see page 7.
Does Metro's technology represent the urban vanguard of aerospace technology way ahead of everything that came before? Not really. See page 8.
Why do persons of evil intent avoid Metro? Could it be they shy away from live TV performances for security-trained persons? See page 9.
Why do Metro stations look like that? See page 12.
If the 100-mile system is built, it will approximate the shape of that colorful spider called the regional Metro system seen on page 11.
The Metro you can ride now (or soon) is presented in colorful detail on pages 12 and 13.
You can really leave downtown driving, and related hassles, to Metrobus by using the fringe parking lot map on page 14.
People run the trains, but they have lots of help from smart electronic machines. See page 15.
There is a room in the first basement of WMATA headquarters where persons appear to be playing video games on eight screens at once behind shiny consoles with
lots of buttons. Actually, they are supervising the entire operating Metro system. See page 16.
In some cases, WMATA plans carefully and works hard so that certain things will not happen. See page 17.
The Transit Authority owns its own telephone network ... and what a network! See page 17.
WMATA has a public library where rare gems of transportation information may be found. See page 18.
Buses and trains meet regularly to get you where you are going. See page 18.
How much money does it take to build and run a transit system, and where does it all come from? See pages 20 and 21.
It is no secret that people love the new Metro. It's been in all the papers. See page 22.
