Reply to comment by HealthLawyer123 in Are most people in Washington DC liking the new Metro connection out to Dulles Airport? by pizza_4_all_

Did you factor in parking in one of the remote lots? Or, if we're considering expense, the daily parking fee?

WaPo did an Amazing Race thing downtown to airline counter at IAD and determined it was really close to a draw. The one variable would be traffic which is not really a factor on the toll road, but can be a hassle downtown.

They did their comparison at rush hour. I flew out of Dulles the day before thanksgiving and got there at 3, there was very little traffic, and my return trip was on a Sunday night also when there was not a lot of traffic.

That comparison didn’t factor in getting to the metro and potentially waiting for a train(s)
