"Take Metro? First, they have to get there. Is bus service a reasonable solution for most people? Is there a bus stop in easy walking distance? Is there regular service that would mean no long waits? If not, you will be burdening local roads with drivers to the Metro, assuming there is adequate parking there."

the terminal station on the orange line is Vienna, which has off massive parking garages, and, IIRC off ramps from I66 almost right into the station. Certainly additional parking and improved access could be built for far less than I66 widening.

thats not even looking at the buses to Vienna metro from Centreville and Fair Oaks (yes, there are plenty) or the VRE from Manassas.

Is it incrementally costlier in time and money to the driver than a drive down the I66? Well sure, thats why people are driving now. Is it unfeasible? No, cause so many people are doing it.
