Hi everyone,

Can someone give me an idea of what the commute time would be from one of the communities behind the Fair Oaks Mall to Rosslyn if it's by car to Vienna, then train to Rosslyn? Is driving to the Vienna metro from Fair Oaks a big pain during the rush?

Thanks in advance!

I think the bigger issue would be driving to the Vienna Metro station early enough to get a parking spot.

Metrobus 2B which stops at fair oaks mall goes to the vienna metro.

Personally I'd rather walk to fair oaks mall near sears and ride that to the metro instead of drive there.

Thanks for the replies but assume I will be in a community shuttle to Vienna so parking there is not the issue.

I was just wondering the drive to Vienna and what kind of traffic there might be as well as the duration of the train ride.

Thanks

You posted "car" so I thought you meant car vs. shuttle bus.

I'd guesstimate 30 - 40 minutes for the shuttle and 30 - 40 minutes for the Metro. Add in time for rain and special events.

Yes, sorry for the confusion but thank you for your answer!

If I chose to drive to Vienna, what time would I have to arrive to be sure of a parking spot?

Just curious, do you know the community actually has their own shuttle or are they referring to the metrobus as their shuttle? The apartments I looked at around that area would say they had a shuttle to the metro and none actually had their own. They just had a bus stop near their complex. Now I only looked at 5 complexes, so I may have just looked at the only 5 like that.
