I made the run out to Reston and back and liked it a bunch. I don't go out to Tysons all that often, but for a lot of those trips--certainly any in November or December--it should ease the trip. It may not do that much to speed going to IAD, but on the way back I think having much more frequent bus service will help a lot.

Also, it's just nice seeing the dang thing finally open after so many years of waiting to see if we could ever line up funding for it, followed by a long construction process.
