[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As PPs have noted, public transit in this area is nowhere near as reliable as in NY. Most buses are scheduled for commuters, not leisure travel. For example the bus near my SIL in Alexandria runs every 10 mins from around 5:30am to 9am and then from 3:30pm to 8pm. In between, it only comes once an hour.

If you live anywhere outside DC, I can pretty much guarantee you'll be driving everywhere.[b] Even in the city, if you can easily park near your home, you'll drive.[/b][/quote]

OP here.  It's funny you said that.  A friend of my DH is a single guy living in the very nice central part of DC and he drives everywhere when he goes out.  Before we had kids we would come to visit and go out with him and his GF.  They drove every.time.  I could not understand why they would not take a metro a block away from their rowhouse or get a cab to go to the downtown clubs.  They would also drive to Georgetown even though they could walk there in 20 min, I could never understand this.  I think we walk a lot more in NYC.[/quote]
