Your fare helps keep Metro moving up! We’ve modernized 151 elevators, with more upgrades coming! Elevators are complex machines that rely on thousands of parts. Your fare helps us pay for essential maintenance & improvements to enhance accessibilty & dependability. Thank you for doing your part.
Inside a metro station, three people stand near a dark, glass elevator. A sign on the elevator reads: "All Trains (lower platform)" and "Glenmont (opposite platform)". The station features a distinctive waffle-patterned ceiling and a reddish-brown tiled floor. Overlay text: "better elevators".
