Parking at Silver Line stations limited, but available
There's more available parking around Metro's new Silver Line stations than riders might think.
Only the new Wiehle-Reston East Metro Station has an accompanying parking garage at what's, for now, the end of the Silver Line.
But, by special arrangement with Fairfax County, the McLean station on Route 123 has a privately-run, 711-space surface parking lot near by. Colonial Parking will operate the lot.
"And we're still accepting expressions of interest from different property owners in Tysons," says Kris Morely-Nikfar, a transportation planner with the Fairfax County Department of Transportation.

Please (re) question Dan Stessel on his statement about fares base on distance. It costs the same amount to go from Franconia/Springfield to Rockville, for example, (26 miles) that it does to go from downtown DC/Judiciary Square to Rockville (16 miles). Metro has long said the fare is based on distance but it is not accurate--like everything else on Metro. -
Why does it costs so much to ride the Silver Line? From Wheile to Rosslyn it will be $5.90 one way. Right now I pay $3.35 from West Falls to Rosslyn. That is almost double the cost. For now I'll be driving to West Falls. It's better for me than anything on the Sliver Line.
