The longitudinal seating reminds me of the 4/5/6 in New York. Those things would get ultra crowded. Of course Metro's trains are wider, so you can pack even more people in them.

For peak times, I would prefer longitudinal seating as I'm not going to get a seat anyway -- and I may have more room on the train while standing... At a minimum, I probably won't have to wait for the n-th train to go by before I can squeeze on.

Considering the first part of the order is going for the silver line -- which will be a LONG commute out to IAD (eventually), I can't imagine them going with longitudinal seating as transverse allows for a much more comfortable ride (IMO).
