“I always thought for this path up to DC, it would be smart to mount a hanging suspension rail-line along the interstate, with five or six giant parking lots along the way. Then run a high-speed railway system from forty to sixty miles out, up to DC’s Metro system. This would lessen traffic flow.”

Already exists, on the Maryland side: https://s3.amazonaws.com/mta-website-staging/mta-website-staging/files/System%20Maps/MARC_System_Map_02_2019.pdf
Virginia also has its own system: https://www.vre.org/service/map/

Both of those systems stink, with VRE stinking a little less.. Which is why we have terrible traffic conditions around here.
The Metro “Improves service” by reducing hours and increasing time between trains all the while, charging more. It's constantly dealing with delays from signal issues, fires, mysterious smoke billowing from the tunnels.

That toll system is a joke too. It's too expensive to use for average people which is why a 30 mile commute is close to 90 minutes. and they keep building out west and south of the city.
