Second post here. (well, first was the same thing on the WMATA thread, which I accidentally posted.)
I moved to this area from Hong Kong (which has much better public transit) and in July/August took a Fairfax Connector route 463 bus around 4pm from Tysons. Aside from me, all other passengers were probably 50 or over, and only 5 other people were on the bus when I got off at Maple Avenue. This was the 2nd bus I took in the DC metro area, the first being a Metrobus 38B that probably had 10-20 riders around 10am from Ballston to Georgetown. Is low ridership normal for the routes around Vienna (46x)? Can someone with some experience tell me their thoughts?
