Thanks! I tried this on my commute this morning and shaved five minutes off my usual time.

No freaking way, unless you're leaving before 6 am after 9 pm. More like an hour to an hour and a half each way

I bet it would take 30min at 2am on a sunday even taking falls to clara barton then all the way down to the G-town expressway.

Nope, https://www.google.com/maps/dir/39.0004651,-77.2298614/2000+K+St+NW,+Washington,+DC+20006/@38.9512487,-77.1731929,13z/data=!4m17!4m16!1m5!3m4!1m2!1d-77.1176827!2d38.9375233!3s0x89b7ca09b97f7f43:0xbf899bedf7dc1a49!1m5!1m1!1s0x89b7b7b0ab45d765:0x293f25c451860bd5!2m2!1d-77.0452258!2d38.9021292!2m2!7e2!8j1487747400!3e0

You just posted your address (which is in Rockville)

What a dingbat.

That's a huge house. I love the sunroom. Wonder what they do for a living.

Alexandria (FFX County 6 mi south of beltway) to downtown Silver Spring took me between 45 - 75 minutes and it was about 35 miles.

Now I live in Waldorf and though it's only another 10 miles, a commute during rush hour can take up to two hours. Rush hour here starts at about 6 AM and goes until about 8 or 8:30 AM. I leave for work at 9:10 and get there in about an hour typically.

Leave Kensington for Cap Hill at 6:45, at work (after double drop off) at 8am. Drive time alone is 40 minutes. Reverse is always at least ten minutes more drive time.

Burke to L'Enfant is an hour door-to-door. Bicycling to the VRE train station takes 10 minutes, tops; the train ride (which I love) is about 45 minutes; then a five-minute walk to my office. Healthy and restful commute, I enjoy it.

What you mean is fraud.

Live in N Arlington, work at DuPont. 30 mins both ways, occasionally up to 45 home. Driving is quicker than the metro and I only go to the office Fridays. Wife commutes 2 miles away in Arlington, 10 minutes.

Burke to Rosslyn area - 1 hour, 15 minutes during rush hour. But at the time i normally drive it's more typically 45 minutes in the AM and 50 minutes in the PM.

"The point is that unless you live inside the station, and work in the station, you are probably shaving off a minimum of 10 minutes since you don't account for actually getting into/out of the station (Gallery Place has several escalators and is very crowded at rush hour; don't know about TP but some stations are really deep and even if you walk the escalator, it's at least 5 minutes). And if you don't live / work practically next door, then you aren't counting the time it takes you to get to the metro and to the office. Duh! "

"commute" = your front door to your office door. It does not equal time on the train.

DTSS to Navy Yard

Leave my house at 5:15 am -- 25 minutes, sometimes 20
Leave work at 2:30 pm to come home -- 35 to 45 minutes

Do this in rush hour -- 1.5 hours
