Hey guys! My friend's city, Washington DC, is adding a new set of trains to their subway system, the 8000 series!

They've been hyping up this train for a couple years now. You'll be able to walk between pairs of cars, and there'll be more standing room to fit more commuters and bikes!

Now, at the beginning of last week, they ran an online poll asking people to choose between 4 exterior designs, and got 20,000 votes! Here are the options:

I want to run this survey for the international audience, though. What do you guys think the design should be?

Which design looks best?

Option 1

Option 2

Option 3

opinion on public transit

I support it! I like riding the WMATA, the D.C. area metro. I live right on the red line! I sampled the NoMa-Gallaudet U station in "Discopolis":

This weekend marked 50 years since the Metro began service, so consider this an appreciation post for my favorite transit system, flaws and all.
