Purple is My Favorite Color

by AltHippo @ 4:19 pm. Filed under Uncategorized

The Washington Post has a nice graphic here talking about the proposed Purple Line.

Currently, parts of the DC area just north of the DC line are underserved public transportation-wise. For example, if you live in Chevy Chase Lake, you’re pretty much hosed. On the other hand, you could bike to Bethesda and take the Metro there, but that would mean you’d have to restrict travel to times when it’s light out. The trail is unlit, not to mention unpaved.

I also notice the folks in Silver Spring starting to mobilize against the Purple Line, as they don’t want the construction. It’s hard to tell how many there are, but they have signs to the effect of “No Trains in Our Back Yard.” People can be difficult, particularly when it involves public transportation.
