The Key Elements For A Successful Rail Project

"On March 1, 1968, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) voted to build a 97-mile rail system with 86 stations at an estimated cost of $2.5 billion. The first line was to open for passengers in 1972, and the system was to be completed by 1980. Almost 33 years later the final Green Line stations have opened, and a Metrorail system of 103 miles and 83 stations has been completed. We have come to take Metro for granted, but it might not have been built."
