| Just throwing this out there, because everyone from Arlington is so da*n smug about saying, It's worth any price for the commute. I live in Herndon 20171 and go to Tysons near the Galleria twice a week during morning rush hour. 25 minutes door to door. Dulles toll road. Better schools than Arlington. |

Op here. Driving. End location is across from the Galleria.
Are evening commutes better or worse? |

| Getting out of Tysons is the worst. One or two lights can take forever. Evening commutes are definitely longer. |

| You can look at drive times now more for rush hour. Right now it's 20 min driving time to Galleria. Check again in an hour. Check this evening too. |

This early isn't quite as bad. But Tysons is such a CF it does get pretty bad. Also, depends on which side of the Galleria OP is headed. On the other side of International? Yes, add 10 more now. |

I do an opposite commute; but I run on the early side. Vienna to Ballston, but in the AM I go through Tyson's. It takes me 22 minutes typical from 123 & 7 to my office. Traffic does not seem bad the other way. I am leaving Vienna between 6:30 & 7.
(I avoid 66. It is always bad). |
