<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">I wanted to caution everybody about an issue related to Metro that you should be aware. Please be exceptionally cautious and careful when entering the passenger cars on the new
train car series. There is a gap that exists in the area that connects between two train cars and the platform. Older train car series have some sort of barrier (e.g. rope) that reduces this risk, but such a barrier does not exist in the new train series.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
