The problem is metro has gotten too damn popular for its designed size. Ridership has gone beyond what the design makes sense for. A couple of downtown hubs work if traffic isn't that large, but it's gotten too big for it.
They need 8-car trains during rush hour, but don't have the money. THey need to run the orange line through a different tunnel under the river and not through metro center. But that all costs major $$ that they don't have.
BTW, how is it that the 8-car trains can't be handled by the stations? THey all seem to be exactly 8 cars long. If someone fucked up that big-time--making the stations 71/2 cars long--they do deserve to be shot.
