If those freaking cabbies hadn't torpedoed the old Airport Flyer routes, there would still be a bus every hour from all the big DC hotels to Dulles.  But hey, what's ten billion.

There's always the 5A Metrobus.   :)

There's a Flyer bus from West Falls Church metro to Dulles every half hour. And the 5A, of course,

Use National Airport.

There was no law that kept them from pjutting the first-round Metro out to Dulles. "They" planned the airport, the Beltway, and the Metro all about the same time: late '50s. Took until the '70s to get the Metro, of course. Whole area would have developed differently if they had built the Metro first.

This is my first time at a game with a rain delay. Delays suck when you don't have unlimited money for beer.

L'Enfant ... Rosslyn  ...  WFC   ...  Herndon/Monroe ....  Dulles if memory serves me right.    Goes back to the city as well.

Do like my sister, just go minesweeping out in the Loft.  Anything half full or less is fair game.  Might want to take some doxycycline when you get home.

Oh, L'enfant?!  That's not too bad.  Will look into that.  I hate paying frigging $70-80 for a cab if it's my own dime.

It's like $6 or so.   Used to be $3 not too long ago.

Yep, except for WFC.  WFC has the Washington Flyer bus.

The new Wiehle-Reston East Metro stop will have Washington Flyer and Fairfax Connector 981 (which will only cost $1.10 w/ a Metrorail transfer).

My bad on the WFC thing.      I have my eye on that Wiehle stop for hopping into town.
