Now this is really, really stupid. I’m planning to go to a brunch tomorrow morning sponsored by the Northern Virginia Sign Language Club, and I needed to know how to get there. WMATA has a “Ride Guide” that, when told a departure point and a destination, gives you suggested routes for how to get there. I plugged in my plans, and got the results.

The first one says to take a bus from the Vienna metro and transfer to another bus. Okay, that makes sense. The second one says to get on the train at the Vienna metro and ride into the city, then get off at Foggy Bottom. This is also reasonable. And then the last suggested route has you board one of Fairfax’s Cue Bus routes at the Vienna metro station. You ride around for 45 minutes, and then get off the bus at - the Vienna metro station. Then you’re supposed to get on the train and get off at Foggy Bottom. How on earth does this make any sense?!
