[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in Bowie and commute to D.C.  I have neighbors who do the same.  Some take the MARC; others drive.

[b]It's actually a shorter commute than it would be from Silver Spring or Bethesda.  [/b]

[u][b]A lot depends on where in D.C. you are commuting to[/b][/u], whether you can avoid the beltway and some of the major chokepoints.

But whatever.  I wish this thread would get closed.  I'm tired of reading what people who don't live in Bowie have to say about a commute they never make or a neighborhood they're completely unfamiliar with.

We considered moving to Bowie and I did a test run from my office to the 197 exit in afternoon rush. It was more than an hour.[/quote]

You missed the point and highlighted only half of the relevant section.

If you work on the East side of town, like near Gallaudet, US Arboretum to Union station, Capitol Hill, south to the Navy Yards, then commuting in from Bowie where you have a straight shot in on US-50 is likely to be a better commute than trying to come down Connecticutt or 16th Street from Silver Spring or Bethesda and then cutting across East to work.

If you work anywhere west or north of the east/southeast part of town, then Silver Spring and Bethesda are probably closer, but there are a lot of people who work in the east and southeast parts of town.[/quote]
