Comparing WFC to IAD vs. Wiehle to IAD by non-stop bus. The first is about 20 min and the latter maybe 10 min. What's the metro ride from EFC to Wiehle?

22 minutes! So it's 32 min travel time from EFC (plus connection). Currently it's 3 min EFC to WFC plus 20 min to IAD = 23 min (plus connection).

They better run the buses every 15 min in future to make up for the longer travel time.

A big question is whether the bus will have direct ramp on and off the Access Rd to Wiehle station like at WFC. Otherwise add another 10-15 min during ex-urban hellish rush hour.

It's pretty lousy for people living near WFC. They would have to back track one stop, two changes so maybe 20 min longer trip!
