[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At the same time they are pushing to get rid of a significant amount of the bus service in the same area - re: the 96 and the L2.  Buses are much more accessible to many people than the metro and  bike lanes and should not be cut back [/quote]

There is so much overlap with metrorail on this corridor that cutting the bus service actually makes sense. [/quote]

Way to demonstrate your keen knowledge of the area. You must be local. [/quote]

Van Ness -> Farragut/Dupont is all along CT ave. Not sure what that poster got incorrect.[/quote]

The other half of the road.

Van Ness -> Chevy Chase Circle[/quote]

Its less than a third of the distance and stops if we're being generous and assume no one can walk. A quarter if we assume people can walk a few blocks. [/quote]

It's exactly half.  It's 4 miles from Chevy Chase Circle to the Taft Bridge and Van Ness is the middle point.[/quote]

The L2 doesn't stop at the Taft Bridge. The L2 is a route to downtown, just like the red line which it parallels for 2/3 to 3/4 of its route.[/quote]

The L2 stops on both sides of the Taft Bridge.  IT serves a very different group of people than the metro and has many people getting on an off along the route -  not all going down town[/quote]
