I agree with all the above and make a bigger loop by connecting the burbs in Va and Md. Similar to the Yamamote loop line in Tokyo.

Chances are greater the USS Enterprise launches into space before this plan ever comes to fruition.

Every single one of us here will be dead by the time this is done, IF it gets done, and our own kids will probably be retired.

There is a metro stop in McLean, there is a metro stop in Bethesda. It takes about an hour door to door. You can get through a lot of audio books without the driving hassle.

But imagine if they laid track along 495 and connected those two lines, and the trip could be done in a third of the time!

Wait you think it’s ugly…like the new metro map would be ugly or the underground metro would be ugly?

100%. This map seems like a moon shot anyway. They should think bigger.

A stop at National Harbor sounds good! (if financially possible).
