D.C. Transit Authority

The D.C. Transit Authority was a municipal government agency which managed the underground Metro in Washington, D.C. and the surrounding communities of Maryland and Virginia. This agency was responsible for ensuring the safety of passengers at their stations and in their subway cars. When the stations were closed or emergency conditions existed, as in war, the Authority could lock down the stations. This agency employed both humans and robots.


 * There is an unresolved question regarding the actions of the Authority on the day of the Great War. All of the stations were closed with signs stating, Keep Out By Order of the D.C. Transit Authority. Were these signs placed before the bombs fell, or after? There is evidence in the game that some form of government existed initially for the next thirty years or so. A revised version of the Unified Operating System was copyrighted in 2203. Only a government agency can grant copyright protection. So, could the Authority have survived the war, decided the Metro was unsafe, and ordered them closed? Or, did the Authority close the Metro in anticipation of the coming war? Needless to say, there isn't enough evidence to decide in favor of one over the other.
