It was only the first of six such hearings, but the choice of location (miles from any Metro station) is a bit bizarre.Only four riders showed up to voice their opposition to the largest increases Metro has ever proposed in rail fares and parking fees.
One rider blamed the small turnout on the location, a conference center in Reston, that was not easily accessible by bus or rail. The rider said she could not even find it on MapQuest. Metro board member Catherine Hudgins, who represents Virginia, acknowledged that it was possible the location might have contributed to the small turnout.

Probably because the Metro Board members wanted some place they could drive to easily.
