In DC, I like the newer ones ( I think they're newer or newish) that are without the carpet. You can tell it's new because the lightning is different as it's brighter on there. Anybody been on those?

Show me a subway train that has reclining, heated seats, arm rests on both sides, and decent leg room

Baltimore trains don't have carpet that's the DC Metro. Baltimore's trains are identical to Miami's.

Forget carpets and reclining seats. I just wish we could have something like this with sleek modern interior and nice blend of colors and texture (wood, fabric, metallic, etc.), and a little more stylish than the tin can cars we have on this continent.

Toronto's yellow line has the best trains that I've personally ridden.
