Fairfax Connector looks at drastic route cuts in the Dulles Corridor, blames MWAA for cutting Connector's share of Toll Road tolls (http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/connector/fy11.htm).
The bulk of the cuts would be felt in Reston, which would lose virtually all transit service after 9:00 PM and would lose ALL Sunday service (even on RIBS) save for a shuttle from Reston East to WFC. And we're building the Silver Line while all connecting transit is being slashed why?
....If I'm reading this correctly, essentially due to loss of funding for the Dulles Airport Express (is that the Flyer or the 5A?), Fairfax is cutting local connector service in order to maintain this vital link to the airport.
That's a very interesting decision...

The 5A is a Metro route, not Fairfax Connector; the Dulles Flyer is run by a private concern, not Fairfax Connector. How is your point related to the grant that supported FFX Connector Dulles service?
Rereading again, I see that it's just for Dulles "Express Service", not necessarily service to the Airport. What is the "express service" and why aren't any cuts being made to that particular service, but to local services instead?
