It's against the law to smoke, eat, drink or litter while traveling on the Metro system, according to Metro spokesman Steven Taubenkibel. The fine can range from $10 to $150, depending on the jurisdiction. Metro police wrote 10 littering citations last year. (Anyone for more enforcement?)

Metro spends a lot of money on maintenance people to pick up passengers' litter. This money could be used to make the system better. There are new trash containers on station platforms and newspaper receptacles on the mezzanine level.

Help Metro and fellow passengers by disposing of your waste. And consider a good deed: Pick up someone else's litter.

If Pulling Over, Go Wide Right
