context_page_description: The Washington Metro is a rapid transit system serving Washington, D.C. and neighboring communities in Maryland and Virginia, both inside and outside the Capital Beltway. With an average weekday ridership of 764,300, the Washington Metro is the second-busiest rapid transit system in the United States, behind the New York City Subway. As of 2015, the system has 91 active stations spread out on six lines with 117 miles of tracks. Six more stations are planned in 2020 as part of the Phase II of the Silver Line and an infill station at Potomac Yard is planned to open in 2021 on the Yellow and Blue lines.
  The Washington Metro system was conceived as an alternative to the construction of a large freeway system throughout the Washington, D.C. area and was partially financed with funds originally dedicated to highway construction. Construction began in 1969, and in 1976 the first section of the Metro system opened along the Red Line between the Rhode Island Avenue and Farragut North stations in Washington, D.C.
