Not exactly. Metro is the DC-area subway system. They really have needed this extension for going on thirty years now, but they’ve waited far too long to build it, until the areas they’re going through are so built up that they costs have skyrocketed. There has been absolutely explosive growth along the VA 267 corridor between Dulles and I-495 since the early 1980s and the traffic out there is absolutely brutal. I lived out in Herndon in the late ‘80s and it was awful then, I can’t imagine what it’s like now since the then-rural gaps along 267 have all been filled in with office parks and housing developments.
