Metrorail is noteworthy for being short on toilets. The designers didn’t want nasty old toilets messing things up so they didn’t build many of ‘em. Then, you had to get the station manager to unlock a door to get to them.

It’s probably good that they didn’t include a lot of facilities. God only knows what would end up happening in a DC Metro toilet.

As for the escalators being turned off. When I lived in the area, some dude had a heart attack walking up one of the escalators in May or June.

I used to laugh when I would see the up escalator off or broken and the down escalator would be in good working order. Uh, hello?
