Just ask the Blue line riders who have to wait 10 minutes between overcrowded trains because of the Silver Line. It sucks, ever since the Red Line disaster of 2009, they stopped automating trains, single tracking on weekends which leads to delays and the fact that unlike, New York, Baltimore, and Atlanta. Washington does not have dedicated funding which means fares as high as $6 during rush hour, unlike those other cities which have one flat fare.
They should've put 7000 series on the first day of opening to match up the exact same silver color so that It will be even much more meaningful for having a new line opened.
keaedz Went downhill after the 09 Red Line crash, trackwork almost every weekend, stopping for schedule adjustments almost every time I ride and rude station attendants. For what I pay to ride the Red Line weekly , I can buy a pass on the entire New York system for a month and have change left over. They need to fire Richard Sarles and Charles Stosell and clean house.
@steven kelly A for geography, not, I've never lived in New York. Don't like what I say, then write your Congressman and tell him to go repeal the first amendment,
@@rockvilleraven the system's gotten a lot better and more reliable in the past 6 years, who knows what's going to happen in 2021 with all the budget problems though
The first phase of the WMATA Silver Line has been completed. And now by the year of 2020 phase two of the WMATA Silver Line is going to open. But I apparently don't know what date, what month, or what day that the new stations are due to open up.
cornrowcity How about giving free rides to those who exit on the first day like some of the other lines that opened in the past? Or better yet cutting your ad budget on the Silver Lines and use to fix all kinds of problems on the system?
That's good. I can see that they are using some of the 1000, 2000, 3000, 5000, and 6000 series railcars to run the new line. But if you look at 5:28, there is an original Breda 4000 series railcar at the end of the train. That railcar must have been used to run the Orange Line, but the Orange color designation sign has been removed from the cab window.

+rockvilleraven The WMATA board didn't make that decision, the NTSB actually did

The 7k were not in service / testing during the opening
Hi. I m from Southeast Asia. Congrats on opening the Silver Line.
One of the few cities with a decent public transport system in the US. The urban planning in American cities is a disgrace.

@@insertchannelnamehere8685 If it doesn't run late, I will not buy season tickets for the Mystics. It has to close at earliest 11pm.
Forever be missed 1000 series, 4000 series and 5000 series cars.

I was at there for the opening with the black t-shirt and was on the first car to Wiehle-Reston East station
The Silver Line is here to stay on the D.C. Metro for many years to come.

+rockvilleraven that would only happen when you exit at the same station you entered from.
I rode it yesterday

how come they don't use the 7000 series on the silver line only red/green line
+NScaleTransitModels(lolfunnycp) I saw one at least twice on each line.
RailFanBen 59 interesting!
+RailFanBen 59 I was riding one one the Silver Line on opening day.
RailFanBen 59 SV started before the 7Ks went into service.
I can see the Silver Line signage at the back of the train at 0:35.
No underground or tunnel entrance shots? Otherwise nice...
А где второй день?
я только снимал первый день...
they could be new cars. ....
