Federal Area Rapid Transit (WIP)

Federal Area Rapid Transit was reportedly a proposed name for the Washington Metro system, likely as a joke due to its acronym FART. This map takes it more seriously, and imagines if the Metrorail was designed more like BART, with only one downtown trunk, and a Virginia-only line (like the East Bay’s Orange Line in BART), as well as even further distances between stops including in some urban areas (a decision that has been criticized as racially biased in the case of BART). Note that in cases where a station has a real life analogue, the original WMATA name will typically be used (such as White Flint instead of North Bethesda.)
