- I have found that people will make all sorts of excuses not to
- carpool/mass transit/other alternative form of commute. I know I used
- to too. I have found that I actually enjoy taking the bus to work and
- biking to work. Regrettably since I live in Sterling and work in
- Tysons, I find it difficult to take a bus to work (The 5Z runs down
- Drainsville Rd. to West Falls Chuch and then I would take a 3C to
- work, or the Sterling Bus system which would take me to the Pentagon
- (why no stop in Tysons?)). Why no bike lockers at the Park and Rides?
- I know there are some valid reasons not to carpool, but I can't
- imagine everyone in that backup on the Toll Road has them.
