Yeah, Silver line only runs to Reston right now.

They are working on the airport property for the rail line, but no movement from Reston to Airport, or from Airport out to Loudoun County.

Reminds me of Pittsburgh. Years ago when the current airport was built, the local authorities received some federal money to build what was supposed to be a light rail line between the airport to downtown. Well, after years of “studying” the project, costs escalated, so the project changed from a rail line to a busway. After more diddling, it was announced that the busway would not be going to the airport. Then after further delay, they couldn't afford to build the connection to downtown. So the busway ends on a rinky dink 2 lane road that is perpetually gridlocked, particularly at rush hour and right now is under construction.
