WMATA’s PR Brilliance

Last week, WMATA announced that they would preview the new 6000 series railcars [3] at National Airport today form 9:30am to 12:30pm. Being a closet transit foamer [4], I put it on my lunch hour to-do list.
Arriving at 12:04pm sharp, I expected an interesting walk-thru of the new and shiny railcars. Silly me!
The train conductor would not let me on, even with 5 minutes of cajoling, and I had to placate my enthusiasm for the new cars with photographs through the glass [5].
Thanks for the great PR opportunity WMATA! Nutting like passing by your riders [6] to garner love with your fans.
