    How long does it take you to get to the Mark Center? I may have to start commuting to there in Feb.

    Not looking forward to it, but I will find out tommorow :mad:

    Just to make it even more interesting, I was one of the lucky ones that did not get a parking permit :angryfire:
    So I have to take a shuttle from WFC to the Mark Center... lovely
    so based on the bus schedules. it looks like it might take me about 1.5 hours one way, where as when I was commuting to the Crystal City it was only taking me 35-45mines one way... what a PITA.... Federal Gov't/DoD messed this whole thing up! people are going to be very upset and start looking for other jobs.

    After several days of trying a different couple routes, quickest way to get to the Mark Center from Broadlands is to drive.

    I was able to get a parking spot at one of the near by parking garages, about a 10 min walk. So total time driving to that garage is about 50-55minutes and then a 5-10 min walk So you looking at about a total of 65 minutes (on a good day)

    The route I take is 28S to 267E(hov) to 66E(hov) to 27W to 395S to Seminary Rd to N Beauregaurd St to Mark Center Dr

    I'm at Skyline Complex, one mile from the Mark Center and my commute is usually 40-45 minutes (if I leave by 730)...Greenway, Dulles Toll, Rt 66, Glebe/Ballston (if traffic is heavy, take the West Falls Church exit to Seven Corners/Rt.7, one exit before 71.

    I'll consider it if or when my work schedule becomes more static.
