When we talk about metros built after WWII, we normally think of the big three: MARTA, BART, and the Washington Metro.

Tune in to learn each of these systems’ stories, plus their quirks, successes, and shortfalls. These systems point us toward a brighter tomorrow, and they show what can be created with a little political will.
