\"New<\/a>
\nSilver Line To Start Service In April, Says Warner<\/a> – WAMU<\/em>
\nThe first phase of Metro’s new Silver Line will delayed until April 2014 according to Virginia Senator Mark Warner<\/strong>. The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority is building the Silver Line and will then turn it over to the Washington Metropolitan Transit Authority. <\/p>\n

Warner says Metro will fail to collect $2 to $3 million in fares each month the Silver Line is delayed. The project was delayed a second time earlier this week so testing on safety software could be completed. Warner says Silver Line won’t open now until April.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A letter Warner sent to MWAA outlines his concerns and is included in the link above.<\/p>\n

Of course, Sen. Warner isn’t the one who makes the decisions:<\/p>\n

\n

And just for the record, there is no official estimate of when the Silver Line will open. #WMATA<\/a> #MWAA<\/a><\/p>\n
