Metrorail Transit

---

Since the initial groundbreaking ceremonies in December 1969, the Washington D.C. Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) metrorail system has become one of the largest and most efficient heavy rail systems in the country. The Metrorail Transit opened for revenue service in March 1976.
