Yellow line is out until March - which was the fastest way for me into the city.

I personally take the metro into the city, I'll do bike deliveries off a capital bikeshare for a few hours and take the train back, literally a decompression trip after visiting the hustle.

when gas was getting ridiculous, I started buying a weekly bus pass to drop the commute, period.

I Suggested parking the car at friendship heights and taking the red line in, she didn't feel safe doing so and was worried about not catching the last train in time. which is an issue I completely understand.

also, I wasn't driving.... this rant is from the perspective of a passenger who never drives into the city past Petworth/Columbia Heights'ish.
