Whenever I hear anybody from Bethesda say, "I don't see any advantages to the Purple Line," what I really hear them saying is, "I rarely go to Silver Spring, and when I do, I drive."[/quote]

Not me. I have frequently taken the bus from Bethesda to Silver Spring and back. They were rarely full and lots of people got off at places in between, where the Purple Line won't help. [b]I'd much rather have dedicated bus lanes [/b]and an underpass or overpass at Connecticut Avenue.[/quote]

You are choosing an option that does not exist -- unless you think that converting existing lanes on Jones Bridge Road to bus lanes is politically feasible?

Also, I don't understand why you say the Purple Line won't help between Bethesda and Silver Spring. There will be three Purple Line stops between the Bethesda Metro and the Silver Spring Metro: Connecticut Avenue, Lyttonsville, Woodside/16h Street.[/quote]

Bus lane PP must be new here. Bus lanes along Jones Bridge was Ehrlich's proposed "solution" that wouldn't solve anything. Not happening.[/quote]
