And there was another meeting in May of this year. Again, skim through it and you'll see what they're suggesting. This one has more potential expansions listed than the previous:
It definitely looks like the fantasy maps that people often create. Maybe they drew inspiration from them, or maybe they are in the first stages of seriously making the system eliminate the use of cars.
Would be nice if it happened in my lifetime but let's be real, it won't. They started building Metro in 1969 and didn't finish building all the stations from the original plan until 2001. I realize it was a gigantic project but god damn that took a long time.
I can just imagine the looks on people's faces who lived out in PG county. "Subway coming to the Suitland and Camp Springs areas!" "...but probably not for 30 years"
At least the Silver Line is going a bit more quickly, although I keep hearing about how the extension out to Dulles might get the axe depending on the costs. Great

I don't think you'll be seeing anymore subway extensions..... Not that you need them , if you just enhanced your regional Rail service and merged MARC and VRE together creating through lines you can solve your Metro over crowding issues. Add more stations , more service = more riders , less stress on the metro.

Compared to other parts of the NEC, the amount of rail lines that we have here is a joke. Now if we had an adequate amount of lines, your idea would have merit.

You do have alot of lines , you just don't use them.
