WMATA [Metro] is so strapped for cash, they’re contemplating selling naming rights for each of the Metro stations.

Metro officials said in a meeting this morning that they’re considering some more radical ways of raising cash, including selling naming rights to its stations, reports Unsuck DC Metro.

Each renamed station could yield a one-time gain of $1-$2 million — but we here in D.C. really hate selling naming rights. It’s not like we have anything called Verizon Center or FedEx Field, after all. No, not at all.

Some metro riders already have ideas.

“Gallery Place-Chinatown/Verizon Center makes sense,” Michael Bijou, Jr. (@mikebijou2) wisely told Unsuck. “Maybe Capitol South-Insert Lobbyist Group Here.”

This story will only get more interesting.
