Also should add, Once the ICC opened and I resigned to paying a few bucks everyday to get to and from work, it definitely sped up my commute

I live in north east Baltimore and when I worked in silver spring I would leave around 6:15-6:30 to arrive around 7:30, very rarely did I run into bad traffic (unless there was an accident)

I was able to leave my work at 3:30 and would be home in an hour. Holidays/fridays always added time to the commute home.
