Is this slug line still active to the Pentagon?

Thanks

Bob

OK thanks! I work 7-4 at GAO and will need to catch a yellow line metro train to Gallery Place from the Pentagon. If I get to the lot at 5:15 AM, how long is the usual commute to the Pentagon?

Thanks

Good question. I'd like to know that as well. Anyone?

About 50 minutes to 1 hour from Gordon Rd. to the Pentagon if traffic is moving well.

How about average times for Gordon Rd to 14th Street? I am considering a job up there and am consequently researching commuting options.

You may have trouble finding a ride from Gordon to 14th Street...everyone I've seen there (including me) goes to the Pentagon. It's a quick ride on the Metro Yellow line from the Pentagon into DC.

What time does the line to the Pentagon start slowing down in the morning, and how badly does travel time increase as departure time gets later?

You mean the line from Gordon Road to the Pentagon? The latest I've arrived there as a driver was at 7:30, two weeks ago, and only one slug showed up after waiting about 10 minutes. So we drove on to the Rt. 17 lot to pick up a third person. After 7:30 you may be out of luck finding a ride.

I usually arrive at Gordon Road between 6:45 and 7:00 and have no problem finding slugs to pick up then. The parking lot is always pretty full by this time, so it seems to me like the peak time for rides at this lot is earlier---maybe around 6?

In my experience, travel time is actually shorter the later it gets. This morning, we left Gordon Road at 6:46 and arrived at the Pentagon exactly at 7:50...the exit ramp was really backed up at 7:50 and it took 5 minutes to drive just a few hundred feet from the exit into the Pentagon dropoff area, while other days when we've arrived there at 8:15 there was much less traffic.

wahoowa - yes, I was talking about Gordon Rd to the Pentagon. Thank you for the information. You have been most helpful. Can you give a little insight into your average trip home to Gordon Rd?

Thanks in advance
