The Washington Post is reporting that Metro officials took administrative control of the Silver Line today, Tuesday, May 27, virtually guaranteeing that passenger service will begin before the end of August.
"Metro officials have set an aggressive schedule for ensuring its personnel and others are familiar with the ins and outs of the $5.6 billion rail line before it begins carrying passengers.

But since some testing and training already has occurred, some believe Metro will not need all three months."
