If he becomes a regular metro commuter, chances are he will begin to loathe it.[/quote]

Maybe not. But it would be ideal to save the Metro rides for special occasions. He does love the train but he has never lived with real winters before. The getting to and from the train in lousy weather would become a real drag.
And ideally he should have the option of driving should something happen with the trains.

I am the poster you quoted. Metro, esp. the Red Line, has had bad performance and service. When a train breaks, you get single tracked around the incident (which is miserable). Delays can get extensive. I used to commute daily on metro from Rockville to Farragut North. Metro has raised prices - a lot. If you're only looking to go to Friendship Heights, the commute will be shorter and, thus, less demanding. But if you want to go downtown on the weekend, you may end up driving due to weekend maintenance, which frequently involves single-tracking. Metro also gets exteremely crowded during the spring break, cherry blossom season, and summer due to tourists.

Who knows... maybe Metro will actually improve by the time you move here. [/quote]
