 How Metro Shapes D.C.
If the creation and success of Metro have shown anything, it's that however difficult and expensive it may be to build, rail may in fact be the most powerful tool we have to guide growth far into the future and help create an optimum living environment.
North of downtown, Metro allowed what the District's longtime congressional delegate Walter Fauntroy called "renewal with the people." He hoped that unlike in Southwest, where redevelopment had moved fl residents out and white residents in, the historically fl neighborhoods of U Street and Shaw could be improved, not gutted.
Even as it shapes the surface, Metro has itself become one of the region's grand public spaces, bringing together fl and white, rich and poor, young and old, urban and suburban, local and tourist to mingle in the stations and on the trains.

Bethesda is an urbanized, but unincorporated, area in Montgomery County, Maryland, near Washington, D.C.

Bethesda is also home to the National Naval Medical Center, commonly referred to as Bethesda Naval Hospital, where many famous Americans such as Senator Joseph McCarthy died, and the John F. Kennedy autopsy was performed.

 washingtonpost.com: Style Live: Music Chat
If METRO wants to promote ridership, and if the city wants to promote a safer city that provides alternate transportation to reduce the number of alcohol-drug related accidents then the METRO should be open at least until 3:00 am to allow everyone the opportunity for a "safe" ride home.
Metro should be open twenty-four hours,but if there had to be a time it was shut down it should be at 2am at the least and 3am is an ideal time.
The public should stop worrying about the safety of the metro cars and refocus their concerns on the extreme amount of traffic and danger that exists on our highways that are costing way more than what it would take to keep the metro open until 3 or 4 am.
