Metro funding is passed to allow a line to Ashburn. That's the real truth. It isn't to Dulles, it's a concession to greedy developers and yuppies living in new McMansions. The Orange line should have been extended down I-66 to the EXISTING OLDER suburbs. I-66 in this section has far greater daily traffic flow than the Greenway and Dulles Toll Road - both of which are there to alleviate congestion on the local roads. At the I-66/Fairfax County Parkway, the Metro should have cut north up the Parkway to Herndon, then looped through Reston and then to Tysons as planned.
I have a name for the new line - Yuppie Line.
