Let's conclude that this is failure of shared responsibilities. Bus operators are busy keeping their buses riding, metrorail is busy riding trains, and all forget about the bus stops.

I will agree that at Franconia-Springfield (and probably a whole bunch of other stations), the bus stops are a mess. The place is terribly planned. The linear lay-out leaves buses blocking each other constantly. Especially since the Fairfax Connector has changed its schedule significantly a year or so ago. Somehow they schedule things so that two buses are scheduled to use a single bay quite frequently, leading to much confusion and buses being in the wrong bay.

Another pet-peeve on F-S is that the pedestrian crossing for the bus lane is just *not* under the pedestrian bridge. Which means that when it rains, you have to step out in the rain to cross the road. Stupid.
