The Metro

Here's a shot inside the new Metro. The graffiti artists haven't even had time to leave a mark...or maybe they like it too much to vandalize it? Nah, not possible. Anyway, it is interesting because there is no driver--ever. It's totally controlled by a computer in an undisclosed location. I've seen systems like this in airports (JFK comes to mind), but never as a major metro system. The two ends of the train have very large aqarium windows where kids love to sit and watch as we weave our way through the tunnels. I have to say it is about as fun as public transportation could ever hope to be.
