Everyone I know with Nexplanon has had horrendous side effects and got it removed.
Despite me screaming in pain for a half hour during the insertion, the Kyleena IUD has been well worth it.

>DC is not dense enough (and probably never will be) to justify the cost of adding express tracks and services on the Metro lines.
Overall I agree with this. There no need for express in the city. But an express to the airport could've been done with better planning. After-the fact is useless.
Also, much of London Underground uses 4-tracks, which kinda derails (pun intended) what you're saying.

With our "all roads lines downtown" system, adding parallel lines would just cause bottleneck once they converge in the city. What you're saying with parallel lines is relevant for a grid system, which we do not have.

The issue is that when there is a problem with one train/station, the whole rail line has to stop because there's no way for functional trains to pass.
The rest of the world has nothing to do with this. I'm sure there are other train systems that have a similar problem.
The new line I am referencing is the Silver line past the Blue and Orange stops, not a right of way.

Right? The two track system has been a known issue with metro. Adding a new line would've been the perfect opportunity to add additional tracks.

The distinction is "required." Most places do provide government forms in multiple languages. Amharic, Spanish, Korean, French and simplified Chinese are always options where I live but am grey on this map.
