Depends on where you're going and where you're coming from. MLK to N Howard was almost as long as the rest of my commute at the time. And if you can't deal with saying no a lot squeegee kids are definitely going to annoy the shit out of you. If you can take the Marc I'd suggest that - if you are somewhat close to the station getting one of those e-scooters would definitely be worth. Ultimately though it's really about how comfortable you are sitting in traffic. An hour a day both ways didn't bother me so much but was awful for my partner.
