[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fredericksburg is nice. The traffic horrendous. VRE is a plus but the crime is not for the size of the area. We looked there because we have friends who live there and DH has family there. [/quote]

Is the traffic bad if you stay in the area or just commuting.  In other words, if they took the VRE, would they still be stuck in traffic all the time like they would in Vienna?[/quote]

Vienna traffic is nothing compared to Fredericksburg commutes. VRE has delays but it is worth it. [/quote]

Right.  But assume they would take VRE.  Are there traffic problems in Fredricksburg similar to those in Vienna when the commute is by train?[/quote]

The people who are going to take the Orange line have more options. They are usually able to drive between stops if needed. So if the Orange line at Vienna has no parking you can go up to Falls Church. The VRE gets delayed because of track work and hitting animals and sadly, hitting people like what happened last night/this morning. VRE  I am pretty sure everyone gets a seat unlike metro but the ride is much longer and trying to drive from station to station is not as easy as it is from metro stop to metro stop. Metro is easier but you will feel more crowded but there are more options. VRE you will be comfortable but track work, accidents,and the traffic between VRE stations by car is not as simple. So you may not be able to get into DC on time everyday and you won't be just 5-10 minutes late like a delay on the Orange line could offer. Things may have changed in the last year but I am not sure. I used to live a few minutes from the Vienna Metro and go to the Metro Center stop and parking was bad but I could atleast hop on 66 in traffic and not be an hour late or drive to another stop.

Pick Vienna unless you have a flexible schedule to come/go to and from Fredericksburg.   [/quote]
