HOORAY! The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) has announced the completion of a comprehensive renovation project for all 169 Metrorail station restrooms. The final renovations were completed at the Crystal City station in January 2024, concluding a 14-year effort to improve the facilities. Each restroom renovation took approximately 30 days to complete. The project has garnered mixed reactions on social media, with some expressing relief and others confusion. Additionally, WMATA revealed the arrival of the 'Fleet of the Future' 8000-series train mock-up, set to debut at the Fleet of the Future Expo on the National Mall on March 20.
