[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just a warning that some off the off peak/non major bus routes in N Arlington aren't always reliable. I used to try to bring my DD to preschool during the day via the bus and had horrible luck with it. Ended up walking home a couple times - not fun!  So now we just drive. And there weren't any yuppies either when it did actually work out. Guess because it was midday. Not an issue - just FYI. This was all just within N Arlington. Wish we could have taken the ART bus but ithe one near us only runs at rush hour.

Hopefully not an issue for you, OP, but just wanted to let you know. [/quote]

Yuppies have no reason to be on the bus at midday.

I'm a taker of the 3Y and 38B, N Arlington resident who lives between Lee and Wash Blvd.  The key thing with taking the bus is frequency - how often does the bus come (12 minute intervals, 10 min intervals).  This is why the 38B works, it runs every 12 miin during rush hour.  The 3Y runs like every 24-30 min, but it also works, bc if I catch the bus on Lee, north of my home, I either get on the 3Y, or get on the 3A or 3B or 3E that run every 10 min during rush hour, and then get metro at Rosslyn.[/quote]
