Re: Oct. NANOG - hotel? At the two month marker now.

If you are looking at hotels in the Herndon/Reston area that are not  
walking distance to the Town Center then bus service might be a cheap  
alternative to rentals and cabs.

The primary bus system in the Reston area is the Fairfax Connector  
(particularly the RIBS buses I think).

Here is a link to the schedules and maps:
http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/connector/schedulesmaps.htm

Also check the Metro Ride Guide, as I believe it will also show Fairfax  
Connector routes to your destination if available, and it's simple -  
enter start address and destination address and it will figure out the  
rest:
