Rt 29 C'ville & I 66 Park & Ride lot

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

   I drive right past the Park & Ride lot on Rt 29, across from the Mobil gas station, every morning.  I return that way every evening as well.  

	I'm looking for 1, 2 or 3 passsengers either going to Vienna Metro or straight into D.C. on or near 17th Str/H str.  

	I would be willing to pay for a months worth of parking in a very nice underground lot I use often.

	Wow...great to see another Charlottesville/DC commuter! I thought I was the only one (though I only go two days a week, luckily). Which Mobil station on Rt 29 are you talking about? The one in Gainesville? There are no Mobil stations in Charlottesville. As long as you don't live too far north in Albemarle County, it'd be faster for you to go via Rt 20/Rt 3, pick up slugs at the Gordon Rd lot near Fredericksburg, and then head up the I-95 HOV lanes to DC. Rt 29 near Gainesville and I-66 outside the Beltway are far more congested than the HOV on 95, even in the HOV lane on 66; I've tried both ways and I-95 is faster every time. I'm trying a new route tomorrow: Rt 29 to Rt 28 (Fauquier County) and then across to Potomac Mills and the HOV lanes on I-95 via some back roads. I'll post here if I find that route faster than Rt. 3/Fredericksburg.

	Oops, just saw your post on the Afternoon Slug Lines board and see that you live in Haymarket, not Charlottesville. So my suggestion of using the slug line at Gordon Rd/Rt.3 in Fredericksburg obviously wouldn't work for you. Even though it's a bit out of the way for you, it might be faster to take Rt 234 over to I-95 and pick up slugs from one of the lots in eastern Prince William County. With 3 or more people in the car, I-95 is always faster than I-66 at rush hours unless there's a major accident or incident in the I-95 HOV lanes. But I'm not sure about traffic on 234 going across PW County. It's too bad there are no active slug lines on I-66; probably because I-66 is only HOV-2, not HOV-3 like I-95, people don't feel comfortable taking only a single rider. Who knows.

	Is it possible she might also mean Centreville?

	My apologies!! Yes, I mean Centreville. As for which mobil station, the one on the corner of Stone and Rt 29 just before I66. LIFE, LIBERTY, & THE PURSUIT OF THOSE WHO THREATEN IT!
