Woodbridge to DC and back

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I work in downtown DC at 21st and K St.. I am thinking of moving to Woodbridge... i have a few questions on slugging:

	1. Where in Woodbridge do I catch a ride?

	2. Where can I expect to get off near my office? (it's near Foggy Bottom/GWU)

	3. Should I just get a ride from Woodbridge to the Pentagon, then catch the Blue Line Metro? 

	4. How much time would each of these options take?

	Thanks!

	ok, I am replying to my own post. :-) here's what I found so far: I can get on at: (a) Old Hechinger to get to 18th St or (b) Horner/Potomac Mills to get to 23 St Question 1: Do the 18th drivers go all the way up to K St? On the way back, I see no way of getting out of DC to get to Woodbridge. It says that destinations are for Springfield only. So my options are: Leave work at 5:30 Get on Blue Line at Foggy Bottom at 5:40 Get to Pentagon by 5:50 Walk to Pentagon pickup by 6pm Hope that Woodbridge ride is still there by then. Question 2: Since I work at 21st and K, do I have any other options to get back home, or is this it? (FYI: I plan to move down to Woodbridge by end of November, so far, my #1 apartment choice is close to Old Hechinger slug line)

(FYI: I plan to move down to Woodbridge by end of November, so far, my #1 apartment choice is close to Old Hechinger slug line) The line at Horner Road(New Lot)typically goes to 18th, not 23rd. It's not rare that drivers will go as far as K street... depends on how long you want to wait. Most will go to at least Penn or H street. 5:30 is pretty tight to reach the Pentagon Other afternoon options include slug lines on 14th street and the OmniRide Bus. The Dale City bus stops at Horner and Potomac Mills. http://www.prtctransit.org/prtctransit.filereader?3f9d3eaf0027e153271d424d361c062f+EN/userpages/257 I think the Lake Ridge bus stops at the Old Hechinger lot. Maybe we will someday get a PM line somewhere around 19th street. Kindest Regards, mroyal

	Thanks.. I guess my only option are the last 2 Dale City buses from 18th & Penn down to Horner Road.

	yes, i would love to car pool, but there's no place for me to park in DC except for the super-expensive lots... so I was only looking at the slugging options, instead of driving. I will give u a call to discuss further options.. thanks!
