When I was commuting to/from Rosslyn, on days I drove, I'd try first for Potomac or Tacketts riders, just because it was harder for them to get back. For me, Potomac was actually the best, because it allowed me to bypass much of Minnieville and all of PWP. What a mess those roads have become as more and more building occurs past Dale City.

I'm a Potomac driver, but I only find riders for Potomac at night 25% of the time because a lot of them started taking the bus. It's tough to wait for just Potomac because of that, so I take Horner if Potomac riders aren't there. If more drivers were willing to start picking up for Potomac, I'm sure more riders would come back as well.

I think that would help out the Horner over-crowding situation a lot if people would use Potomac Mills. It's not that much of an inconvenience to get on/off the HOV lanes either and the traffic at the lights aren't as bad as Telegraph Rd. Are most drivers willing to take slugs over to Potomac Mills instead of Horner if need be?

I would definately start using Potomac again if we had drivers. I don't need to be to the lot until 8 or after and by then there are no cars, if cars would start going to Potomac, I know a bunch of slugs who would start going there as well...

I see a lot of people who slug back to Horner and take the bus to Potomac Mills. I think it cost under $1.00 but not sure! Anyone Know???

I agree as well and I am wondering how long it'll take me to get home tonight. But if drivers were willing to pick up at PM they should be willing to drop off at PM, how else are slugs supposed to get home? I don't want to waste money for a bus just to cross the road.

I agree with glacier. There aren't many drivers heading back to PM in the afternoon.

What a crazy commute this morning was! Horner Rd was packed out by 8 so I decided to try Potomac Mills for the first time thinking others would have the same idea. However, when I got there I couldn't find any lines, but luckily saw a few cars and eventually guessed my way to the Crystal City line. Luckily there was another person looking as lost as I was and a car pulled up also thinking to try PM since Horner was a mess.
My comment is this: Why aren't more people using Potomac Mills when Horner Rd is full? There were TONS of spots to park and no one was taking advantage of it? If all the overflow would head over to PM or some other lots it would all work out. (I can understand if certain lines are only available at Horner but most are offered at both) |
