Metro is changing, and dramatically. Beyond the possibility of new railcars sometime in the future and a recently announced pilot program of retail kiosks within stations, WJLA (by way of the Examiner) is reporting that Metro may soon be just a little more entertaining:

Metro officials are proposing a new program to bring musical acts, theater and possibly circus performers into the transit system.

It’s almost like Metro’s just not itself anymore. If this plan proceeds forward, gone will be the days when Metro stations both looked and felt like cathedrals. In its place will be a transit system that has become just a little bit more lively, a little more inspiring for those of us making the daily slog to and from work.

Of course, the proposal begs the question — who would we want to see perform in area Metro stations? Readers, have at it.
