Eavesdrop DC

On Saturday, I was getting onto the metro at East Falls Church (orange line). There was construction between East Falls Church and West Falls Church, which made things confusing. The train at the station, instead of saying “New Carrollton” or “Vienna,” simply said “Special.” Naturally, a number of people asked about where the train was going, to make sure they were getting on the right train. One woman wanted to be extra sure:
Woman: Is this the train going into DC?
Metro Employee: Yes.
Woman: WASHINGTON, DC?
