I appreciate the signage they have throughout the station. Easy to navigate, for restrooms, tickets, and food. Even when you come in on one train and need to switch to another, it is well marked so that you can make your way to the next leg of your journey. If you live locally, I don't need to explain any of this to you. You have been through here hundreds of times.

I own a car. Actually, I own two, however, I use public transportation whenever I can. It is fast, easy and I don't have to park the car or circle the wagon, looking for a place to put it down. If I am downtown and it gets to be late o'clock, I will be taking a taxi home. There is a limit to how late those conductors drive their trains. So, it is not the perfect science, but, it works pretty well for me.
How do you get around? Hoof it or drive your car? Do you take a car when you go somewhere or do you try to take advantage of public transportation? To be honest with you, the fares have gone up so much, I cannot believe it. The standard fare for the Metro during peak house is $2.25 - $6.00 during Peak hours. This depends on how far out you are on the Beltway. Off Peak is $2.00 to $3.85. Weekend one-way fare $2.00. How much does your Metro cost?
I am appreciative that I have a Metro station close to me. It makes life easier and when it is not working right, pretty annoying. I have to be honest. It works most of the time, so I have no time to be annoyed.
