Try Potomac Mills if Horner Rd is full

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)

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

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 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?

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.
