Once folks know that they will not get stuck, it could generate enough usage to take the pressure off Horner Rd.It could be a win-win for PRTC and the slug community.
Another possible solution could be to move the Tacketts line at the Pentagon closer to the Horner line. Many of us might be willing to go to Tacketts via Horner if we could easily get the passengers.

For me, it's a nice safety net to park in Horner knowing I can take the PRTC bus from the Pentagon after the sluglines dry up at 6pm.

Cheers,

Glacier

For the Record....If I see 2 Potomac Folks and about 8 Horners, I will always opt to take Potomac, cause I know you guys tend to get slighted in the evenings. [:(]

I think more people should think about taking folks to Potomac in the evenings.I used to pick up for Horner only in the evenings...........but now i take either........and actually it's doesn't add hardly any xtra time to my commute like i used to think it would ...

Its not as bad as u think.......

Slugguru, parking in Potomac Mills would not be a problem in the mornings. The problem many of us see is on our way back home since a few riders go there in the afternoons.

Shahed,

I realise we are in different lots...but...should the counties of Prince William and Stafford donate endless amount of space so that everybody can have a parking spot...No...that's ridiculous...I personally have no problem with anybody parking on the striped lines, what blows my mind is that most of the time the striped line spots in the back of the 610 lot have people parked in them when 2 spots closer is an empty spot....I don't get the logic....

All's I'm saying is this...If you know everyday that a lot is going to get full at a certain time, then you should get there before that time....Simple right....Guess what, if you can't get there on that time, I don't give a hoot where ya park. But avalanche22 wanted a simple solution....I provided that.... Another option is to drive that day, and pick up the slug, rather than be the slug...

Again, no angst, feel free to park in the striped spot....

Also, as nice as it sounds that you are concerned about the people after you not getting a spot....In the most unselfish manner possible, its not really your problem...and I mean that in the nicest way possible...
