Because its a reprieve from the bitching about the Columbia Pike Streetcar and million dollar bus stops.

When you see the hoards of illegal locusts hauling leaf blowers and buckets of drywall mud onto the trains at Reston, you'll understand.

The silver line was named for the silverback gorillas that will be riding to the nicer communities

We will start seeing more news reports on how a smash and grab was done and how they flee to the silver line.

I suspect the silver line will have more police than metro center.

Some trolls and racists like to post that Metro is the magic carpet that will usher the urban criminal element in. I'm not saying there aren't any of these riding the Metro, but they are far more likely to travel to locations via bus or POS cars than by train. You cannot judge who rides the train in the suburbs based on who rides them in the cities, and PG County and Springfield Mall were both on a downhill slide before the Metro reached them.

Among others it comes down to a belief that a far better and more efficient transportation system could have been built and operated to meet today's needs for far less than what the Silver Line will cost to build and operate.

It's the jealousy of mouth-breathing cretins living south of 66 and west of Vienna without access to Metro.

Pay them no mind.
