Potomac Mills to 14th & L St (or nearby)

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

   I am doing an internship at a site near 14th & L St beginning June 10th, and will be coming from the Woodbridge/Potomac Mills area in VA Monday-Friday.  I have to be to work by 9:30AM, and will be done by 5PM.

	I am a novice to how slug lines work, let alone most public transportation in general.  Any advice is appreciated in addition to anyone who this route may be convenient for.  

	Another issue I have is that certain days (Tuesdays & Thursdays), I have a course downtown that does not finish until 9:30PM.  I understand that it is very hard to find a ride on the slug line after rush hour...does anyone have any advice as to what I should do these days?  I will have my car with me in VA but am trying to avoid driving it often as that it is fairly old.  [:0]

	Ashley

	Getting there...The Potomac Mills and/or Horner Road lots should work. You could slug (free ride) to the Pentagon & Metro to McPherson Square or slug to 14th & NY and walk a few blocks to 14th & L. Those lots usually fill up around 7:30 but that still leaves plenty of time to get to DC. Getting back...9:30 pm? Wow. Those days; I'd probably park at/near the Franconia Springfield Metro station and then take the bus back at night. Others might have better advice. Good luck.
