There are no cops on the Metro, and no muggers either, and almost no
vagrants. It is rarely crowded. It may well be the best public
transport system in the world.

Really? No cops -- in one of the highest-crime cities in America? I seem
to remember seeing quite a bunch of police officers in the station, but none
on the trains themselves...

And you're right -- I don't remember seeing any pan-handlers.

How has D.C. managed to create such a great system? What's the secret?
