Alex B: thanks for the link. But those boardings assume two more stops in the westward direction, which will feed people from Loudoun county to the airport, that will not be available. How much I do not know, and at this stage probably nobody does. But it surely is a goodly fraction, like 30-45%. Picking 30%, the number is reduced to 4340. It also assumes a park-and-ride center at Dulles, which you think should be deleted. Surely the IAD P-and-R will be the source of a significant number of boardings. Take that away, you've got hardly any. I'll generously give you 1500 boardings/day.

Is that worth $700 million, particularly in a largely car-dependent area that is very sensitive to how its tax dollars are spent? My bet is no, and that the Park and Ride will get built.
