You the best! "Children’s National Hospital in Northwest D.C., as well as the children’s hospitals at Inova Fairfax in Northern Virginia and the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, which represent a total of more than 650 beds, are at capacity, physicians at the hospitals said this week."

Lol. What. I did the math and time given projected schedules. It didn't add up for some sort of life changing difference. The only thing wmata got you was dicking around on a phone or reading the paper ... Terrible business plans all around, not shocking given the parties involved

>The current Silver Line is one hour and 12 minutes. The extension will bring it up to about 90 minutes. That's 45 minutes on the silver part of the Silver Line, and then Ballston to Metro Center is 15 minutes, Metro Center to Stadium-Armory is another 15 minutes, and then Stadium-Armory to Largo is another 15 minutes. So you're looking at about an hour and six to L'Enfant from Ashburn.Depending, of course, on how quickly your fellow passengers board. I've had Central on my case before asking if I'm having any problems with my train because I'm behind schedule, and I'll respond, "Yes, tell these people to board more quickly."

i'm not sure it saves any time whatsoever even with rush hour traffic, and absolutely not on weekends

Does anyone actually have a use case for the silver line besides easier access to Dulles?

The time, parking, $, doesn't seem to add up for daily/regular use
