Striped lines and crazy morning people

I know. But you gotta make the best of what you can get. [:D]

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 ...

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.

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,

Good Ideas!

Maybe a solution might be for PRTC to run a late bus to slug destinations like Potomac Mills and the 123 lot. 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.

I have to disagree that the county hasn't done enough for sluggers. The fact that we have a FREE system to park and ride or drive in shows the county HAS done a lot. There's only so much they can do, and it costs money to extend lots or build new ones, and if you expect them to pay for new lots, then you need to expect to pay for them.

And honestly at Horner Rd, I rarely see people get tickets for parking in striped areas, so all in all, it seems like the police leave sluggers alone for the most part. [:D]

In that sense, we should be very happy and pleased that we have the best commuting system that I can think of. And that is including the rude cell phone talkers, the "offensive" radio stations, the long lines at times, and the "Do Not Ride With" list. [8D]
