 Metrorail Glenmont Route
The Glenmont Station was built by cut-and-cover, and on the last 1/2-mile or so of the line, the grass on the west side of the road is new; that's where the subway tunnel and station was built.
The Glenmont (B) Route begins in subway at the east end of the Metro Center Station (E-W) and proceeds eastward in subway under G Street to 6th Street, then southeastward under Judiciary Square, eastward under D Street, and northward in subway along the west side of Union Station.
The Glenmont Station is pretty typical of the stations on WMATA.

 Washington, D.C.
The Washington, DC Metrorail system is a regional rapid transit system consisting of five lines, 83 stations and approximately 103 miles of track.
The Metro "M" is shown at the top; and just beneath the "M" there is a colored stripe (or combination of colored stripes) that indicates which line (or lines) serves the station.
When the Metro system was in the planning stages, they wanted to include a route to Georgetown, but the residents of the affluent neighborhood thought the subway would bring crime and would be seedy, not the technological marvel that it became.

 Commuting by Transit and Trolley
Although Metro just might be the best transit system in America, it is still moving ahead—straining to keep up with the crowds of riders but also leading the industry with security innovations and acting to reduce pollution.
Washington had a trolley system—real electric trolleys on rails, not rubber-tired, gasoline-burning imitations—but the last line was abandoned in 1962, as Washington was becoming a city that depended principally on cars to take people everywhere.

 NARPAC'S ANALYSIS OF METRO'S BUDGET
We are trying to understand just what it takes to run a major metro area public transit system involving almost 340 million riders on 1500 buses on 161 routes (with 316 variants) over thousands of street miles, plus 1000 heavy rail subway cars running on 100+ miles of track, mostly underground, on six color-coded routes.
To this must be added the 400-odd special Metro police that patrol the rail system, compared to less than 100 related to the bus system.
In addition to virtually all of the costs of the Metro Access system ($39M), it should also be noted that the capital investment (right of way) costs for the Metrorail system are still being paid off through principal and interest payments on 30-year bonds.
