Metro to strengthen RFK transit with upgrades and a dedicated Gold Line bus, no new station planned.

Metro’s plan for the RFK redevelopment relies on upgrading the Stadium-Armory station (larger entrances, more escalators/elevators, expanded space) and adding crowd-management measures, plus a new Gold Line bus rapid transit with dedicated lanes to Union Station. A separate new Metro station was deemed too costly and time-consuming, so buses and improved existing infrastructure are the focus to handle tens of thousands of eventgoers.

UPS jet narrowly avoids collision at Louisville airport as controller shouts 'What are you doing?'

A UPS Boeing 767 inbound to Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport aborted its landing after nearly colliding with a smaller SKQ-25 taxiing on the runway; air-traffic control audio captured a controller shouting, 'What are you doing?' The crew executed a go-around and the FAA said required separation was maintained. This incident occurred at the Louisville hub, at the same airport where a fatal cargo-plane crash five months earlier killed 14 people.

Metro 2039 Teases the Darkest Chapter Yet, Says Glukhovsky

4A Games and Deep Silver announced Metro 2039, the next entry in the post‑apocalyptic Metro series, with a trailer due to drop on April 16. Metro author Dmitry Glukhovsky doubled down on a promise that the game will be darker than anything previously seen, a result of development being affected by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The story reportedly centers on breaking into Moscow’s metro to confront a tyrant in a new underground war, with leaks suggesting grim, disturbing events. While some fans worry about political implications, the project is framed as a gritty survival tale set in a brutally oppressive underground world.

"Virginia Governor Youngkin Amends Budget, Rejects Tax Increases and Vetoes 100 Measures"

Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin amended his proposed budget to shift more responsibility for closing Metro's budget gap onto Northern Virginia, retracting what was thought to be a pledge of extra funding from Richmond. The Northern Virginia Transportation Commission expressed disappointment, stating that while they currently have the funding for Metro, it will deplete reserve funds for other transportation projects in about a year, potentially leading to increased taxpayer contributions. This could result in delays for various transportation projects, including a second entrance to Metro stations and bike and road projects. The final decision on the budget is pending a vote by lawmakers in Richmond.
