It would be nice to have a connection by metrorail but its really far away. I think you could go further out than Tyson's though because of all the somewhat dense employment along the freeway towards Wiehle. <BR/><BR/>I think the most important thing though is to have a rail line or a bus service that is so frequent from the front of the terminal that you don't need to think about timetables. If what is happening now is correct, air travel is going to be in trouble anyways.Pantograph Trolleypolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17833159138533550544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6609536178570975752.post-39856046955559991242008-07-10T06:37:00.000-07:002008-07-10T06:37:00.000-07:00I feel like we are fighting a fool's battle with D...I feel like we are fighting a fool's battle with Dulles Rail. The fact is, subway service to Dulles airport doesn't make sense.<BR/><BR/>Service to <B>Tyson's Corner</B> does, that is what all of us in the pro-transit community have been fired up about. But Dulles is too far away and the line will lead to too much congestion without the badly needed expansions in the core of the DC Metro system. <BR/><BR/>We should be expending this energy in support of urbanity-building rail. Dulles rail service is a highway on steel, and will have the same sprawl effects.<BR/><BR/>High speed commuter service to Dulles makes sense, not Metrorail service.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
