I have been taking the bus from the eastside to Seattle and back (about 20 miles) for about 7 years now. I remember the morning bus being 15 minutes late one day, and two hours late during a heavy snowfall. In the afternoons, it's 2-5 minutes late about once a month, but more than that only 2-3 times in all those years.
Yeah, there is no metro, but if you don't have a car and absolutely need to get there, you can always get off at West Falls Church Metro to Dulles Airport and cab it into Sterling or take a bus. 11-19-2008, 09:06 AM. TootsieWootsie. Location: Utopia. 1,999 posts, read 10,565,235 times.

The BxM8 bus looks pretty good, though the Sunday service is a bit far from where I would be staying. When you talk about the track work, would the trip be on the order of an hour and a half or longer? If it's longer the bus starts to look better, but if it's 1.5 hours or less I can deal with that.
Metro-North is not 24/7? That's news to me. I thought that, in the past, I had researched ALL the trains serving the greater Downstate New York region and found that the Metro North system did run 24/7 (i.e., there was still "some" degree of train service in the middle-of-the-night -- between 12:30 am and the 5:30 - 6 am time that the train service resumes running more frequently).
And no guarantee that the bus would mesh with yr work schedule. Driving or by bus or train, you'd likley spend as much time traveling as you might on the job adn be totally exhausted. Plus with all the travel expense (bus fares or gas plus the cost of parking in the city) you'd be beter off just renting a room or a share someplace.
During rush hour the train station is full of people and safe. You buy the tickets from a machine in the waiting room(you can pay in cash or credit). If you are traveling during rush hour you have to select the "
My wife and I are considering moving to Monmouth County. Without getting into too many details, I am very familiar with the area and I work near the Port Authority in Manhattan so the bus is my likely mode of commuting. As such we are targeting being within 10 minutes of a park and ride for the Academy Bus either at PNC or Exit 109.
The efficient underground metro system, which opened in 1969, carried about four-and-a-half million passengers per day in 1999. By 2010, the metro system is expected to grow to 15 lines, stretch over 315 kilometers (196 miles), and carry more than 12 million passengers per day. Mexico City opened a new underground metro line in November 1999.
