I don't understand why so many people take the 5A bus over the Washington Flyer Bus. Yes the 5A bus is 4 dollars cheaper but pretty much the whole day(except for late at night or maybe even early in the day), the bus is completely cramped. Give me the more reliable, comfortable( WFB has a lot more space, nice seats etc) bus anyday of the week.
The Flyer also sticks to its schedule. In my experience, I can't count on the 5A showing up at Rosslyn when the NextBus real-time estimates predict it will, much less what the timetable says.
Once Phase 1 does open, the Flyer's advantage should really open up. From the Silver Line's Wiehle-Reston East station, you'll have service
every 20 minutes on the Flyer at $5 a pop and, if you don't mind making a few stops, Fairfax Connector's much cheaper
981 bus.
