Face facts.  Many people don't want
to carpool because they don't want to be caught
farting in a small car with their colleagues.

I agree.  Metro should recieve a significant chunk of the gas tax
collected in the area.  "But I don't ride Metro!".  Yes, but for
every person who does, there is one less person in a car between
you and the next stop light.  Thus you would in effect be paying
for road improvements without having to pave over more of what
was a beautiful area.

The beltway, 270, and 95 have shaped development in this area.
A line should follow the circuit of the beltway, extend up
270 and down 95.

The time from origin to destination should
be decreased by running express trains from the outermost
stops.

The D.C. area is not a temporary settlement, it is not a rural
town.  We should have a substantial, fast, cheap, clean, system of transport.
