Thank you Rush+ for putting one more car on the road--mine. Living in Alexandria and working in Arlington, I'm already a 3 seat ride from home to work (bus, blue, orange), which if timed perfectly is 45 minutes at best. Driving takes 15 minutes door-to-door, so why would I add even more time to this at greater incovenience?

For those that keep saying "it's only an additional 6 minutes, deal with it," I'd like to invite you to the Rosslyn platform in the pm peak. It's already at capacity (those new elevators are only going to put people onto the overcrowded platform faster). Miss a train and you miss a bus connection, so you can add another 20 minutes right there. That 10E bus extension to Rosslyn sounds nice, but it will never run according to the timeline currently proposed as traffic will bog that down.

Overall, I'm just disappointed that Metro played the numbers game to benefit those commuting from further out at the detriment of those commuting from closer in.
