Metra is just begging for a systemwide aesthetic reboot - from rolling stock to graphic design - it all needs to be brought into the 21st century.
Speaking of rolling stock, I can't be the only one who saw the movie "Source Code" and wished that actual Metra car seats looked like that. I also wish the interiors in general showed a lot more flair. It can't possibly cost significantly more to use designs that look intentional instead of like some engineer's idea of bare minimum function.
