I’m pondering a move, and I’m interested in what things people like and what factors y’all consider important.

    It’s $2.25 today which is the full fare of a metrobus ride. I am like 90% sure the credit has always been full fare but it’s possible at some point it might not have been.

        A 20 minute wait at DCA would make me pretty upset as well. Early 2010s was the “trains keep catching on fire” era, which meant they would single-track for weeks after the incident to make repairs. These days the trains don’t catch on fire nearly as often.

          yeah it was funny because I had heard good things about the system and was massively disapointed. I mean I like the cleanliness. I mean I only experienced it once but left a rather sour taste in my mouth. I had actually hoped to take the opportunity to get out to the mall for an hour but had to put a kybosh on that. I don’t travel a lot so missing the opportunity to see a place I go to kinda stunk.
