Has anyone had a chance to take the 981/983? Seems like a great way to save $3.75 each way.
The Silver Line Express is $5.00 and the Fairfax Connector is $1.75. So the savings is
$3.25.
But there is another savings with the Fairfax Connector when transferring to/from Metrorail and using a Smartrip card - you save $.50 on the transfer. (No such savings when using the Silver Line Express - and they don't even accept the Smartrip card.)
