 A few years ago: Almost nobody will use Metro to Dulles, they said.

Today: > 1 million people have taken the Silver Line to or from IAD.

 @c6f37363 I could wish the station weren’t such a schlep from the airport, or that there were express trains into DC, but having the current service is still a huge upgrade from an $85 cab ride.

We’re way behind most major European cities in providing easy transit access to/from local airports, which is unfortunate. Hell, the 747 express bus from YUL to Montreal is better.
