Rosslyn-Springfield PM Line

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

   Is this line dead?  I started using it at the start of the new year a few times a month.  I'm lucky if I can get a ride 15% of the time.  I usually get there about 5:00pm and most of the time there is no one there, and no cars stop by.

	Anyone use this line successfully?

	---------

	Still waiting for NoSUV to put up or shut up.

	I see people or cars there almost every afternoon (It's on my route to the other Rosslyn slug line). I also know someone that uses that line almost every day to go to Sydenstricker.

	About twice a month I have afternoon meetings in Rosslyn and have to pick up slugs on the way home. I've almost always been able to pick up RVM or Sydenstricker slugs on Kent St betweeen 4:20 and 5 PM. But have had to wait 5 to 15 mins sometimes for slugs to arrive. Anyways, it beats going to the Pentagon round-about for slugs if you're already in Rosslyn. [:)]

	I have used it several times over the past few years with mixed results. Sometimes rides, sometimes I give up after about 30 minutes and walk up the hill to metro to the Pentagon. Usually a long wait in any case. Although this line has persevered, it suffers from poor location. It is on a quiet side street, out of the way and far away from both the metro (that's a tough walk back up the hill at 5:30pm), and away from the other Rosslyn sluglines. Suggestion: since there is obviously interest in the route (Rosslyn to Spgfld.), why not move it closer to the established Rosslyn lines, which are also closer to the metro.

	Raymond, that is what I experienced. Usually a nice COLD breeze blows thru the coridor and makes it a pleasant 30 min wait, then I give up and metro to Pentagon. --------- Still waiting for NoSUV to put up or shut up.
