For nearly a decade, the transit authority in Washington, D.C., has faced controversy over restrictive guidelines governing advertisements in the city's subways and busses. Now, it might have to scrap some of them.

The guidelines also single out religious ads, prohibiting "advertisements that promote or oppose any religion, religious practice or belief."
