Can MARC serve Fort Meade?
Fort Meade is a transit black hole with growing traffic and horrible parking. I worked on Fort Meade for the better part of a decade. It made me hate commuting more than any Beltway traffic ever did. It is virtually impossible to get there without a car, and the parking is years of expansion beyond critical mass.
