N2  - There is general public enthusiasm for a rapid rail transit system in Washington, D.C., primarily because it would reduce surface congestion at rush hours. METRO, as it is now designed, may nevertheless prove to be a poor second choice to the automobile by suburban commuters for destinations other than the CBD and, at the same time, fail to provide satisfactory service for the transit?dependent. If downtown employment projections (and consequently, planned patronage) are not realized, the ?benefits? of METRO will in no way justify the costs of the inflexible fixed?track system.<p />
