Metro had hoped to start running Automated Train Control by the end of this year.
However, while testing ATC this summer, some serious safety problems have been found.
"This includes instances such as trains receiving commands to operate above the intended speed, and trains continuing through stations at full speed," Paul Smith of the Washington Metrorail Safety Commission said.
Metro's safety oversite group says these problems must be corrected before Metro can run ATC.
Metro GM Randy Clark says he won't turn on Automatic Train Control until he is confident that it works safely
