The Washington Metro (officially Metrorail but commonly referred to as just Metro) is the rapid transit system in Washington, D.C. and its surrounding suburbs. The system is administered by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA). In Maryland, Metro provides service to Montgomery County and Prince George's County. In Virginia, service extends to Fairfax County, Arlington County, and the City of Alexandria. Since opening in 1976, the Metrorail network has grown to include five lines, 86 stations, and 106.3 miles (171.1 km) of track.[1]

Metrorail is the second-busiest rapid transit system in the United States, in number of passenger trips, after the New York City

Metrorail was designed by Chicago architect Harry Weese, and is an example of late-20th century modern architecture. With its heavy use of concrete and the repetitive nature of its design motifs, Metro stations also display aspects of brutalist design. In 2007, the design of the Metro's vaulted-ceiling stations was voted #106 on the American Institute of Architects' list of America's Favorite Architecture.
