What city do you think has the nicest looking interior on the subway train? Personally, I forgot where but it was the D.C./Silver Springs/Baltimore area . The subway actually had comfortable seats and carpet floors.

Carpet floors on mass transit? Yuck. Though uncomfortable, plastic and solid floors are much better. I can see how cushions and carpet would look nice but think about sanitation. Carpets on airplanes even bother me, as do the cloth seats. God only know what happened on that cloth before you got there.
If new and kept clean, I don't mind plastic and non-carpeted floors.

Yeah that's true about the cloth . But I think the seats were like leather
We have some really nice, new trains on the CTA with nice, modern interiors. It's a large fleet to replace, but they've got them on at least five train lines so far. The T green line is also really nice. Carpeted interior on public transit is a really bad idea, in my opinion.

WMATA rolls out these new puppies in January, 7000 series will be phased in and make up more than half the fleet by 2018, i'd take my money on these being the best heavy rail cars in the U.S. until another system updates:

They look almost exactly like the R188s NYC MTA is adding to the IRT lines (different dimensions, of course), and no surprise they're manufactured at the same Kawasaki plant in Yonkers.
