I don't recommend this when picking up wife. However, maybe mother-in-law:) 1. College Park METRO to Rossyln Metro Station. ($2:80 Rush Hour). Make sure to get rail to bus transfer reciept at entrance) 2. Metro Bus Direct to Dulles. ($1.65 if you get rail to bus transfer at College Park.) Make sure to ask driver for transfer reciept. http://www.wmata.com/timetables/dc/5a.pdf 3. Metro Bus back to Rossyln Metro Station. ($1:30 for person with transfer; $2:50 for visitor without transfer) $3;80 total 4. Take Metro to College park. $4:40 TOTAL: About $12:65 Option 2: A more comfortable ride for visitor who is tired. 1. Take Metro to ROSSLYN Station. ($2:80 Rush Hour). Make sure to get rail to bus transfer reciept at entrance) 2. Take Metro Bus Direct to Dulles. http://www.wmata.com/timetables/dc/5a.pdf ($1.65 if you get rail to bus transfer at College Park.)

One way is $8, round trip is $15 and students have a discount at $6 each way. It runs every 30 min and only take about 25 min to the airport.

Same price for the shuttle: about 8, but much much more fast. The subway from west fall church to DC is too slow and too crowd.
