DC to 610 Stafford

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   This morning was my first time slugging in (from 610) I work at the FAA building right by L'Enfant Metro station.  This morning I couldn't find a ride into DC but the Pentagon was close enough since it was just a metro stop away.  I'm wondering how many drivers and sluggers are going from DC to 610 and what time they leave so I can catch a ride back instead of hoping on the Metro.  Thanks in advance for your help.

	Josh

	And to add to that question, if I hope to ride from DC to 610 in the evening, is there a BETTER lot on 610 to park in? Mine Road or the other? I usually ride from Rte 17 to downtown, but am annoyed by having to go to the Pentagon every evening. Makes driving up to 610 maybe worth it, but I don't know how good the rides home are. And while I appreciate that link from sluDgE, my experience is that those pages are pretty out of date.

	You will have better luck getting to L'Enfant from the Mine Rd, aka "new lot". This lot has two slug lines, one for the Pentagon and the other for all downtown destinations including L'Enfant, 14th, 18th, and Navy Yard. I have heard that there is a good return line in the pm from L'Enfant to that lot, but don't know that personally. Just be forewarned, this lot fills earlier than the other 610 lot (610 aka "old lot") usually by 6:15/6:30 I think, but you can park at the old lot and take the Fred shuttle over for a quarter. To get back to the 610, old lot, in the evening you will need to go to the Pentagon. To get back to 610, new lot, there is a line at 14th & G - rides are more reliable before 5:00 and there is the L'Enfant line - but once again, I don't know much about that line other than it exists! The Fred shuttle runs between the two lots in the evenings as well. Hope this helps...

	Thanks - that helps a lot. I guess it means I'm out of luck though. On the days I have to slug, I am "late" - at best 7:10 to Rte 17. So getting in to the Mine Road lot sounds like a non-starter. And getting to 14th and G is just as bad if not worse than going to the Pentagon in the evening, so I guess I'm stuck with what I'm currently doing. But it is really good to know that. So thank you for the info.
