Airports Authority Says Cost of Developing Rail Car Could Bust Deal With Metro
(Washington Post) — Officials building a subway line to Dulles International Airport say Metro is overcharging them for new rail cars, a budget-busting cost that they predict could delay the opening of the extension and force higher fees for Dulles Toll Road commuters. Unless Metro agrees to eliminate a $75 million increase on 64 rail cars it is preparing to buy for the new Silver Line, the regional airports authority won’t agree to the deal, the officials said.
