I tried searching for the weirdest things on Metro but it didn't come up. I tried googling to find out the inside height of metro cars but didn't have any luck . I am just so curious, today on Metro there was a very thin man wearing what had to be a tailored linen suit as he was so tall - he had a short, brushed back hair style and it touched the top of the car!

It's been some time since I've ridden on Metro but I don't recall my head hitting the ceiling and I'm 6'5.

My husband is also 6'5" ( a little taller in combat boots) and he doesn't come close to the roof. He has banged his head on the door and the bars. That guy would be pushing 7'.

Thanks CDMurphy! I was guessing he was close to 7' also, but maybe only 6'9"? Still TALL!

Wow..maybe my husband hits his head more than he will admit! First thing we look for in a house is high door threshholds! He has had more head bangs than a football player!
