the sad part is there’s ample parking .5 or so miles away but ppl want convenience

i'm just loling at the lines. minus the convenience you make most of the burritos at home

basic ass don't mean good

what kind of coffee do u get for $10??

what’s so good about them? sounds like some basic ass brekkie burritos you’d find in El Paso

i’m glad someone is doing it cuz that ain’t me

lol

let's us do the math here to see which is quicker since you have a lot of fallacies in your stance.... controls: he lives in Crystal City, he'll buy tickets for both Flying and Amtrak in advance

Flying: walks to DCA (assuming 10 mins) 25 mins before LGA flight> gets on flight and flies out (25 mins to clear pre-flight/security + actual flight time of 45 mins=70 mins)> lands and takes 10 mins to deboard plane and get on Subway to go to his exact location which takes 42 mins (Google Maps LGA to Columbus Circle) total time to reach Columbus Circle: 2 hrs 12 mins

Amtrak: from Crystal City he takes the Metro (i'm even assuming he lives right next to the Metro) to Union Station (30 mins travel time according to Google Maps) 5 mins before it leaves>departs in the non-Acela (since u cited it as being $31/one way) which averages 3 hrs 20 mins>gets off Amtrak and transition to Subway from Penn Station to Columbus Circle which is 9 mins total time to reach Columbus Circle: 4 hrs 4 mins

Conclusion: flying is 1 hr 52 mins faster than the Amtrak, even if he took the Acela that'll only subtract 30-40 mins at best off the time depending on which Acela time he chooses. Price Analysis: Flying: free to walk to DCA + $108 roundtrip flight (just checked American Airlines flights DCA2LGA) + Subway ticket $2.75= $110.75. Amtrak: Metro to Union Station ($2.75)+ two Amtrak coach tickets at $31/each way ($62 total)+$2.75 subway ticket from Penn Station= $67.5. Amtrak coach is cheaper but at a cost of almost 2 hrs one way in life time. Multiple his hourly wage by X2 to account for value of time and Flying wins hands down. Amtrak Acela would exceed the overall cost of Flying too.

Seat size doesn't matter when you're on a 40 min flight. In addition, the accrued flying miles he gains can be used for vacation. What other ridiculous assertions do you have for me?

there is no hassle, pay for TSA precheck and CLEAR. if i have a flight at 2pm at DCA i enter the airport at 1:35ish and clear security in 3 mins allowing me ample time to make flight. flights costs $120-$160 depending of fluctuating fuel costs and that’s for round trip.

why take the Acela when you’re paying $300+ round trip and he would have to hike from Crystal City to Union Station paying Uber fees or metro?

not only is flying faster but it’s more economical

a flight from DCA to JFK or LGA is 39-43 mins in air not 90 mins. I’ve taken this flight 27 times now. the key is to pay for TSA Precheck and CLEAR to minimize time at airport

bike riders in DC are assholes, i’m saying this as a former bike rider. I felt entitled to the roads, but cars off, and never stopped at stoplights nor stop signs

Fedex isn’t in DC

MPD are lazy af from my personal encounters. Literally sit in their cars and play games or watch movies on their phone while crimes are happening under their noses. I’ve seen $10/hr rent-a-cops rove the neighborhood more than these OVERTIME having fiends. I called the cops on a tenant of mine who was going crazy in my house and they came and left in 2 mins. They didn’t call me to inform me of what happened and then one of the cops starts laughing about the situation smhhhh

i bet they’re from Maryland

it’s too easy, just look both ways before crossing the street

this is the only answer
