Connect Tysons to Bethesda

It would alleviate so much congestion on the beltway and it's a massive commuter artery.[/quote]

You can get from Tysons to Bethesda via Metro Center today. Plenty of people do it.[/quote]

Tysons stops are only convenient for those who live in Tysons.  lets be honest, people who live in SFH areas around Tysons aren't going to drive and park, and take a slow way into the city to transfer and take another line out.  It takes as long or longer than driving in traffic.  And it depends where they need to go in Bethesda, if not walkable from the metro then forget it.  Suburban stops are really only for commuters who work near stops and for whom driving and parking at work is a PITA, or for a handful of people living in the apartment buildings or staying at the hotels walkable to the stops.  Suburban areas near Tysons are notoriously difficult to access by PT unless you have plenty of time and patience for bus waits and transfers. That is if you even can walk to bus stops, many cannot.  And bike lanes are sparse and not safe.
