People will do anything to not take the metro.

Imagine paying to fill your car with gas when you can just hop (the turnstile) onto the metro for free! /s

To be fair, it's a fairly long walk from any of the metro stops to the tidal basin. I took the bus from the metro and that was also a terrible idea because of how bad traffic was. I ended up waking back.

It's like a 10 minute walk from the Smithsonian metro stop to the tidal basin and 15 to L'Enfant. Maybe a couple extra minutes because of all the crowds but that is really not a bad walk.

It took me about half an hour to walk back yesterday, although granted some of that was thanks to crowds. Probably would have been closer to 20 otherwise. So doable, but not what I would call close.

I wouldn’t think literally parking on 66 or 395 would get you any closer either though.
