Reply to comment by sporkityfork in The Silver Line to Dulles is a bigger deal than I thought it would be by MrMoustachio55
I mean Arlington and Alexandria both heavily use their bus systems as feeder networks to their respective Metro stations. Fairfax Connector as well, to a certain extent. Not sure what Loudoun is up to with its bus fleet - I only know of their commuter coach buses.
The fact is that the further you get from the core of the region, the more that park-and-ride stations make sense. It's not very cost effective to run low-ridership buses, when you can instead build a parking garage to absorb riders arriving by automobile. That's why stations like Franconia-Springfield and Vienna make sense to have large garages. By contrast, the small paid lot at Braddock Road never made any sense to me.

i believe they built a completely separate track to bypass the station altogether so as to not spoil the surprise.

I love how I’m the sub you’re either a fascist GOP neo-nazi or your so liberal you believe we should abolish the police, prisons, and poverty is a valid excuse for murder and assault. There’s no middle ground here
Nuance is definitely not a strength of this sub lol

Easy parking on the street or access to Metro (Capitol South). Affordable prices. Great local spot. Food is tasty and filling. Can pretty much see the Capitol building from its door.
You are welcome.

Yeah I'm sure. I've just never heard anyone reference it as a neighborhood.

I really wish more jurisdictions in Virginia would get on board with funding and approvals for more connections to Metro. Having that kind of connectivity to the city and airports makes life better IMO. I live in what most in this sub would consider the hinterlands, but I typically drive to the nearest Metro station whenever I need to get somewhere. It's just more pleasant.

Well well well. This feels like some sort of "reverse Bruce Wayne is Batman" plot line.

Take the train.

Yeah, if you can bear the trip distance it’s great. And of course, a drive from capital south is probably around an hour or more, so it’s not that much longer at the end of the day.

That's the biggest plus for me (of Metro in general). I don't have to deal with the stress and headache of other drivers. I don't have to think about where I'm going (other than the station), I don't have to worry about turns, getting in an accident, or bad weather.
Yeah, it might take a bit longer to Metro to Dulles vs. driving, but I lived in East Tennessee for ten years. Your options were fly out of Knoxville and pay a LOT of money, fly out of Chattanooga and drive an extra 1.5 hours, or get a cheap flight from Atlanta but die in Atlanta traffic. All of which included parking at the Airport.

Between this and the crime/cops/OAG nonsense, I feel like this city does a lot of finger-pointing.

Use SpotHero to pre book a space in one of the nearby garages. There is one right across the street that is usually available on SpotHero, 560 13th St NW, but there's loads of others nearby as well.

I’d love to meet somebody so flimsy that their entire position on a political topic shifts due to some small group of people creating a couple hours disturbance, at worst.
Like, be annoyed and comment how few allies they’re making but who would they be losing?

Your submission appears to be asking about parking.
Your first resources are available here and here.
Unless you are in a residential area of the city, there is no such thing as reliably free and easy long-term parking. Please read parking signs carefully, even locals get confused sometimes.
Useful apps for parking include ParkMobile for street parking and SpotHero for garage spaces.
Visiting a friend in the city? Ask them for a free visitor parking pass from any MPD station.
Did you receive a ticket? Are you guilty? If so, pay it. Pictures and incorrect information doesn't matter.
Parking resources for:
- American / Catholic / Gallaudet / Howard / GWU / Georgetown University
- Cap One Arena / Nats Ballpark / Audi Field
- The Capitol / City Center / the National Mall / Union Market / the Wharf

Reply to comment by dataminimizer in Scooter Rider Dies Months After Being Struck By Hit-Run Driver In Northwest DC, Police Say by Tommys2Turnt
Where did I say it was the scooters fault? I said “absolutely dangerous to ride them around DC streets.” DC streets include cars, trucks, and busses that aren’t going anywhere, which is obviously one of the major factors that makes riding scooters on shared streets so dangerous.

My husband runs a group of medical practices. Masks will be part of the healthcare experience for years to come. It’s annoying but an important protection.

It's not the same hawk as they molt the juvenile feathers and get the famous red tail after the first year. West Nile affects a lot of birds in the area it's transmitted by mosquitoes. Falconers and the DNR sometimes work together to vaccinate wild birds each year.

It’s still there. Wonder if it will be dropped once pandemic emergency expires in May. But still in force.
