That's exactly what we need... WMATA needs to get off their asses and extend the silver line all the way up to Leesburg and then to point of rocks
Yawn.
Metro is broken.
No body is wants to take it. People that live out there are not looking for a “transit oriented” lifestyle.
Expanding Metro out there would take decades and cost tens of billions.
Expanding 15 can happen in a few years at a reasonable cost and it’s what the people that live there want.
Bore off.
Are you kidding me? Trains are still very packed at morning and evening rush hour.
I cannot wait for the Loudoun Station silver line to open - no more driving to Reston each day and fighting the toll road traffic to take the Metro into DC for work.
I was coming home from a show in DC yesterday evening at 10:30 and the Silver Line coming into Reston was pretty full to where there were no open seats. There weren't people standing in my car but still, no seats available.
