Yesterday I took the subway to and from WeWork. Since I have been taking the bus regularly, I wanted to see if the train was any better.
Both ways, the ride was almost twice the speed. No red lights and traffic to worry about. But the negative thing was how crowded it became. I was lucky to have found a seat. I found myself worrying about COVID more than I ever did on the bus. I have my mask on at all times but I worry when I hear people cough.
The deal breaker for me was the cost. It was $5 one way to take the train. That is a total of $10 a day to take public transport. That is outrageous. It costs $17 to park for a single day in DC so this public transport is just a $7 savings. I am going to have to go back to the $2 bus ride. Using unlimited monthly pass, I will be able to save even more.
Life is expensive.
