I usually pick up riders in Rosslyn for my evening commute home.

I've noticed over the past week or so something strange has started happening. When the cars in line for Horner, Tacketts, Potomac reach the front of the line, the Stafford cars have been blocking us in.

This is something new, usually the Stafford cars hang back a bit to allow room for us to get out. Now, we are being forced to back up and risk hitting the car behind us (because God knows that once the line moves forward an inch, all the cars move forward 2 inches) or end up sitting there until the Stafford line moves forward.

Last night, a man waiting for a ride to the Woodbridge area had to step out of the way as the car in front of me was backing up, tail end going over the curb, only to unsuccessfully get around the Stafford car!

This is becoming increasingly annoying....am I the only one who has noticed this?

No, it's not just you. Lately the Stafford cars have been pulling up and blocking multiple lanes of traffic. I have no clue why that is but it's pushing the Woodbridge line farther and farther uphill.
