That sounds correct, but for the end of "Phase 2" - which is just starting construction now, and is, I think, scheduled to finish 2018 (I think). Phase 1 will open sometime between Dec 2013-Feb 2014, and only makes it to the eastern portion of Reston (midway between current closest Orange Line station and the airport). There is a lot of talk about what is going to happen to the current airport bus from DC, the current Washington Flyer bus from Falls Church, etc. AFAIK - Fairfax county is running a bus to the airport from the last Silver Line stop. The Washington Flyer will pick up/drop off from that stop as well. The 5A (from DC) is being considered for elimination...
