I've been thinking exactly the same thing, but for NoVa in general out to Dulles.

Transit is the way to define a place, and in NoVa it's more likely to be a bus line than a rail line that serves a given community. In my mind, that means a network of (relatively) high-frequency bus lines connecting together hubs around the county without the ridiculous loops and curlicues WMATA does now.

In Richmond Highway's case, they have the great branding, and transit, of the REX bus route, but beyond that people just can't get anywhere in under half an hour. If Penn Daw had a bus hub located at the intersection but integrated into the development, it might drive a kind of low-intensity transit-oriented development that would define the place.
