Hi All,

Anyone have suggestions for commuting from Sudley Manor Drive & Ashton Avenue in Manassas to the Inova Health System offices on Gatehouse Road in Merrifield to arrive by 8:15am weekdays? (Inova has shuttles running between the Dunn Loring Metro stop and Gatehouse Road). I know there are several options via car and/or bus and/or Metro, and I was wondering what the "best" way might be.

Thanks!

Honestly, I think your only real option is taking 66 with every other person in the world. Horrible, horrible commute, especially at that time. Can you not leave (much) earlier?

Not sure how Metro will help you. Vienna is the farthest station out. Not sure why you would get on Metro there, go one stop, and then get off to take a shuttle. Even with the traffic, you'd get farther along staying in your car.

You don't have a lot of great options. 66 is terrible, and 29 is terrible+stoplights. As spencgr said, the metro really doesn't help you. You could take the VRE to Backlick and catch the Fairfax Connector bus to the hospital area, but that is going to be over an hour.

I think the best bet would be to drive 66, with an appropriate buffer, for the first few days, but ask around and try to find out whether there are any vanpools available. I bet Manassas to INOVA is actually a popular route.

As bad as 66 can be I 95 is much worse. But as already said you really have few options with 66 being the main one.

How about 66 - 29 through Centreville to Merrifield?
