re: missed VRE/bus connection issue:

As noted, this refers to afternoon commutes OUT of DC. From my observation as a commuter on the BL/OL, it seems that for much of this period, the trains aren't following the schedule anyway due to crowding and the resulting "bunching". So before R+, was it really possible to reliably plan around a specific train with less than a six minute margin of error? Also, assuming R+ lives up to its promise to reduce crowding, I wouldn't be surprised if the resulting reduction in time at each station (and consequently less bunching) might actually offset some of the added wait for the affected blue line riders. I've spent lots of time on blue line trains in the afternoon commute that must wait before every station while the overcrowded OL train in front attempts to load or unload.
