Also..DC is WORSE than NY politically..yet they managed to build a 102 mile system in 30 years..while the MTA built 6...just makes you wonder..even during those lean times...MANY CITIES MANAGED TO BUILT RAIL LINES..while NYC fell through...DC may be worse than New York politically, but the biggest difference between the New York MTA and WMATA is the fact that WMATA is NOT an agency under the umbrella of a state or city government. The folks that represent the people that live outside of the area in the states that are served by the WMATA compact have very limited say as to what WMATA can do. The way the articles in the WMATA compact are written basically makes it impossible for one or more of the members from ganging up against one of the others members.
