Our traffic is already the worst in the USA. It's about to get worse.

Please go somewhere else this summer.


Metro is undertaking a significant maintenance effort that will accelerate three years worth of work into approximately one year. The plan, called SafeTrack, expands maintenance time on weekends, weeknights and midday hours and includes 15 "Safety Surges" - long-duration track outages for major projects in key parts of the system. For Safety Surge #1, Orange and Silver lines are single tracking between East Falls Church and Ballston from June 4-16:
• Orange Line trains between Vienna and Ballston will operate every 18 minutes
• Additional Orange Line trains will operate between Ballston and New Carrollton only
• Silver Line trains will operate every 18 minutes
• At 10pm all trains will operate every 20 minutes
• Metro closes at midnight seven days a week for the duration of all safety work
During SafeTrack surges that affect commuters in Fairfax County, Fairfax Connector will provide supplemental and existing EXPRESS bus service to and from the Pentagon for $4 per trip. For Surge #1, the express service operates from:
• Reston North Park and Ride (with additional parking at Wiehle-Reston East Metro station)
• Vienna Metrorail Station
• Saratoga Park-and-Ride Lot
fairfaxcounty.gov/safetrack is Fairfax County's one-stop-shop for all SafeTrack info as it relates to your local commute. Check back frequently for the most up-to-date information.

Not to mention that whole area sucks ass in general and all of the locals are morons.

TIME recently looked into the Metro’s incident reports to figure out who is actually suffering the most of all the stops. Using data from May 2012 to March 2016, they discovered the Vienna Fairfax-GMU station gets hit the hardest, with a total delay of 5,632 minutes of delay over that period of time. Which makes sense, as end-of-the-line stations tended to bear the brunt of the wait times once delays struck

The aggregate IQ of the region is plumetting do to a politically correct foreign invasion.

ESL ... etc.

The locals that grew up here are just fine and usually don't mind summer tourists. It's the carpetbaggers who migrated here for cushy government jobs and contracts that are all self-important douche-bags who think they're more important than anyone else because they can afford to drive a BMW.

"do to"?

Don't cast stones... something something...

Not to forget the potential for a terrorist attack too -- even more reason to stay away from this area.

Ah, Paris in the Springtime...

what tourist is going debark in baltimore, drive past 6 MD casinos near the beach, to stay closer to a crime city, DC, so they can get to "more tourist stops in DC this year"

you really think foreigners are coming to DC this year to see the washington monument and staying nearby to see the air and space museum the next day ?
