It’s such an efficient way to get around because of the “spider web” design. The metro in the DC area wasn’t like that - you couldn’t interconnect from one lone to another.

The first time I was i Paris, I was especially intrigued by the metro stops that had the maps that would light up to show you the route you needed.

Thank you! The letters were tricky. My little brushes that have enough snap for the job don't hold GreenPartyVoter Apr 2020 #11
