Anybody know if a bus, van, or whatever goes to SE DC by the navy yard or new baseball stadium? I checked vanride.com, and they don't have anthing. None of the buses go that far south. I can't believe none of the transportation companys go that way.

I imagine if you wanted to do the bus thing you would have to get off and take the metro...somewhere....

It just seems like there are thousands of people working within a few hundred yards of my office, I can't be the only one from Kent Island. If I got to take the bus, then catch a train or another bus, it's not worth the hassle or extra expense. Even the vanpool said they have limited interest in areas south of the Capitol. |

Wonder why that is?  And your right, there are tons of people all down in that area.... Have you tried Commuter Connections and see if there is a van pool down in that area from even Annapolis area... (how that grandbaby?) |

I used to work near the WNY yard (80M - by the stadium). I've been asked to work there again. But haven't found a good route in yet. The 922 to Navy/Archives seems the best..but that still isn't that great.

Seriously, I'm probably going to lose my commuter soon. Let me know if you are going back. Maybe we could talk. |

Yeah - it won't be until this spring before I make that commitment. I've had to make that commute a few times..and so far...I've taken the 950 to China Town and jumped on the metro to WNY.
I really REALLY am trying to avoid driving...so, maybe I can buy the van and you can drive it everyday ;-). If I make the leap - I'll let you know.

I see them at the NY, but none heading to Kent Island. Switching from bus to Metro just outweighs the hassle of driving myself. I don't mind driving as long as I can get in the HOV lane. |

Still haven't committed to working there full time. But I've done the trek a few times on the 950 and getting off a C-Town and taking the metro.
For me, it works. It isn't that bad. Then again, I am used to taking the 950 all the way to Foggy Bottom and jumping the metro for one stop. But the bus/metro to SE is about 1:20 all together.

I gotta be in by 7:30, so I usually leave the island by 6:30. Off work at 4.
