Quite reliable. Only inconvenience is by the time it arrives at Rosslyn, the baggage area in the bus may already be filled by people who boarded at lefant. You might have to stand the whole way while hanging on to the bag

Yes; I’ve used it a few times for personal travel and had a good experience.

I’ve taken it, main downside is I’m pretty sure it’s only every hour on weekends so I had to wait awhile but definitely way cheaper than uber

Yes. It has been reliable for me

Took it home (central DC) from IAD for the first time recently and was very pleasantly surprised. Pretty fast when traffic is low

I also think that it would take a similar amount of time to take the silver line to wiele-Reston and then take the nonstop SL1 bus to IAD which is super reliable in my experience

like

Yes and no. Make sure you have an app to track real time departures in case downtown traffic is bad getting to Rosslyn

Why? Just curious, not judging

It's for personal travel. Not expensing it. I live in Arlington and don't have a car.

Uber?

It's expensive. I could save 25 bucks and the bus can take the HOV lane.

It’s reliable, but it can be packed and you have to stand the whole time

2. In terms of compensation, how much value (% compensation) does a TS clearance have in the DC area? Places I'm considering: AWS, Azure, GCP, Data bricks, Appian etc.
Any advice, thanks!
