The song Thriller wasn't a generational hit at the time. It did quite well, climbing up to #4 on the billboard charts, but it was the SEVENTH single released from the album, it wasn't released as a single until January 1984, more than a year after the album Thriller came out. People were getting kind of sick of Jackson at that point, because the album was churning out hit after hit.

There will be a bus from the airport to Udvar-Hazy, Fairfax Connector 983, but the new bus routes don't update until Wednesday. While the train opens on Tuesday, there's going to be a lot of stupid ceremonies and ribbon cuttings, etc. Don't show up at one of the new terminals at 7 am on Tuesday and expect to be able to commute.

That would have required additional planning and massive funding going back to when the entire system was built. The biggest bottleneck in the entire Metro system is the tunnel under the Potomac that shares the orange, silver, and blue lines. It doesn't matter how many stops the silver line train skips if it still has to slow down behind the trains in front of it the second it is past Falls Church.
