Which makes me wonder why Franconia/Springfield won't be getting car sharing. It's one of the few Metrorail stations that has a designated taxicab area -- always with at least three taxis available -- which suggests that car travel is desired out of Franconia/Springfield. Perhaps it's because construction on the new garage will begin soon in the location that's most logical to put a car-sharing facility. Or perhaps they're afraid it would be *too* popular -- having the cars go long distances to Potomac Mills and other points south. (Yes, I know Potomac Mills has its own shuttle, but it runs at 2-hour headways http://www.millscorp.com/potomac/bus.html ) -- Michael Malak malak@claygency.com
