I really hope it extends to Alexandria. I'd love to take a nice trip to VA without the long winded rides.

Seriously! But the bigger benefit will be a stop at L'Enfant on the way, giving many federal workers a one seat ride to the office. This would also take some crowding off Metro since those workers would no longer need a trip from Union Station down

I'm a federal worker but I'm not in the DMV area. So it doesn't affect me personally. But I do understand congestion as I'm from NYC.

However, it'd be nice if VA had reliable public transportation.

You can take the NE Regional Amtrak all the way to old town or transfer to the VRE via Union station. You can also get there by metro via train (Amtrak/Marc) @ Union station
