<p>Im familiar with that area as well.</p><p>Ever since Manassas exploded with the pending Disney park a decade or so ago, the commute into DC is brutal.</p><p>Dulles is a aiport that has the main ternimal inside a loop of road which itself is buried in a land full of ramps, parking and other things.</p><p>Even if you built the thing, how are you going to hook the ternimal to it?</p><p>In fact, Dulles is a hard way to get out of DC. I look towards BWI and THEY have light rail close to it.</p><p>Dont mis understand me, I like transit, I like the idea. But getting those Yankees to leave the car behind and walk or buy taxi service is very difficult to do.</p><p>The Government does not solve our commute problems. In the best spirit of the USA, that is usually left up to Private Citizens or Organizations with their own money.</p><p>I remember when Cities were the core and had it all. Now we are spread 50-120 miles around the dying city with the auto as the transport that is availible on demand 24/7. Going to be difficult indeed to get that retired.</p><p>My solution is to run Metro out to Dulles. Call it the cloud line or something similar to what they did with Red Line out of Rockville.</p>
