- Today Metro announced a plan to test potential future station concepts at Bethesda Station.
As part of its strategic plan, Momentum, the model station will enable Metro to test several design concepts in a single station, with improved lighting, better information and improved customer convenience.
As an underground station with a center platform design, Bethesda represents the hardest type of station to illuminate, making it an ideal location for the "model station" pilot.

i feel like something they should think about adding is a color scheme for each station that incorporates the colors of that station. so like while still having stainless steel... also added orange to the setting of an orange line station, blue to a blue line station, and blue and orange for station stations that are both blue and orange. that way it gives some color and flavor to the metro system!
I like how old and dark metros are. Can we keep it that way? It keeps the metros looking rugged, tough, and weathered by the elements. A happy bright modern metro wouldn’t be the one I know. I love the 7000 series, but I hope we always keep the old ones too.
lol this comment is incredibly weird
When was the last time a metro rail car was washed?
WMATA shows riders what out-of-order escalators of the future will look like. Still don't work, but they're damn sexy.
Instead of a chrome "station of the future" can we please just have a functioning station of the present?
Looks nice!
See You in 2020!
@via_transit Yup and things haven't gotten much better...in fact, they are worse...though the pandemic has a lot to do with it and people don't trust WMATA to keep them safe.
The Purple Line is ending in this station, so I guess that's why they're choosing this station, but then again we'll find out what will really happens there. As soon as they start the Purple line Light rail construction in 2015 that is.
Yesterday morning, two trains on the red line broke down. This caused delays in each direction. Yesterday evening, a fire broke out on a train at Silver Spring. This caused major delays for train & bus riders, not to mention street traffic. Therefore they’re planning on updating the interior of Bethesda station.
Just because we're traveling 80 mph in an outdated, malfunctioning metal deathtrap with hundreds of other people doesn't mean we can't gussy our surroundings up a bit. Thanks Metro!
Question on the new pylon design: the current center platform pylons also provide ventilation for the stations. Noting that the concept designs have the signage where the vents currently are, how would that all work? Would the vents be moved?
Add Stairwell to platform at the following stations: Archives-Navy Memorial, Federal Center SW, Foggy Bottom, Eastern Market, Addison Road, Capital Heights, Benning Road, Woodley Park-Zoo, Cleveland Park, Van Ness-UDC Tenleytown, White Flint , Rockville, Twinbrook & Medical Center
Please don't "improve" the lighting for the underground stations, just replace the bulbs. Maybe I'm just being sentimental but I love the dim lighting. It's so uniquely WMATA.
please go to Seoul, Korea. take pictures, make notes and bring it back to DC. they have the best system in the world.
seats along the walls for maximum capacity. walls and doors on the platform to prevent people from falling on the tracks. numbered metro entrances/exits to make navigating stations easier. google maps actually shows accurate metro station layouts. automated trains.
there's probably more im missing, but start with this
How Long Do They build Wmata Station at Bethesda?
Do they have more than that station that looks like that
How about restrooms at stations?
🙄🙃
If MARTA Can surely y’all can?
why cant the MTA in NYC do something like this? :'(
Because yall stay open all damn night long.
agree that europe probably has great metros, but if you want practicality and efficiency, go to korea. they are the true masters
If the coffers are covered up and the light levels increase it will ruin two the most trade mark and beautiful aspects of Weese's designs. these are the most beuatiful rail stations on the planet. Keep the aesthetic as is and update the sound systems, escalators, and ticket methods. Also get rid of all the added metal conduit on the beautiful beton brut concrete!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lmao what are u talking about? Current metro stations are so lifeless, they're like the epitome of ugliness. Weese can kiss my ass with that gray shit.
How will this increase service? Yeah go build something to look at while you are stuck on the damn train and late for work. Great idea.
U.S. metro has to go to Europe and find-out how they made and do it. learn from expert and master. Europe has the best of all.
And Asia...Asian countries have plenty of good metro systems.
This is rather odd, because they usually use Gallery Place to test new concepts.
Because MTA is too busy focusing on things like actual improvements and providing good service.
It didnt do anything, the station is filthy
instead of having a "sci-fi" theme with the new chrome 7000 series cars and new stations can we have stuff that ACTUALLY WORK??? I'VE LIVED IN DC SINCE 2008 AND NOTHING HAS GOTTEN BETTER I MISSED A FLIGHT FROM REAGAN NATIONAL CAUSE I WAS STUCK IN A TRAIN FOR 3 HOURS WITH NO CONNECTION, NOTHING! SCREW YOU METRO!!!!
stop raging jeez
@@butwhendidievenaskroblox9650 you most likely don’t live in dc. At least you don’t feel the pains from riding the dc metro
@@deryabaygan-robinett1220 no i live in maryland near the wheaton station but nothings wrong when i go on metro
@@butwhendidievenaskroblox9650 oh, maybe it’s because of lockdown. But back in 2019 I took the red line train from tenlytown to metro center and every day there would always be some delay because of single tracking. One time I was at faragut north, the train just departed for metro center and it suddenley stopped. I was in the train for 2 hours but it felt like three and and a half
@@deryabaygan-robinett1220 basiclly the same thing happened, but at the wheaton and forest glen between them there was single tracking so the red line to glenmont was at the shady grove side so whenever a train came we waited for that train to glenmont to leave so it only took like less then 40 seconds
What's that other noise? It's like you're fucking mouth is making noises while you talk...
also these renders are not presentation quality! they dont show anything significant. They pulled the trigger too early on these. not trying to be mean, but I dont think the WMATA got their money's worth here.
You guys don't have the initiative to add signage to inform tourists to move to the front 3/4 of the platform to board six-car trains, but you have the time to come up with this garbage that is as well-rendered as Dire Straits' "Money for Nothing" video? You should be ashamed of yourselves.
