[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here:  Moved already.  Been here a month.  I went to school in DC (GW), so I'm familiar with the city, the metro (including walking on the left - used to drive me crazy when people didn't), being smart about crime, etc.  But I've been in suburbia for 20+ years and I have kids now (and it looks like I need a DC1 card to enroll them in the school lottery) and a lot has changed (including technology - wow).  But I did once get a ticket for parking within fill-in-the-blank feet of an intersection.  They filled in 40.  So I guess that hasn't changed.  :)

We're near Fort Totten, BTW.

Thanks for all the tips.  [b]Which Metro app do you recommend?[/b]  There are several.[/quote]

I like the Transit app:  http://transitapp.com/

It tells you all transportation options from the point where you're standing, when the next Metrobus, Circulator, train or Uber will arrive, gives you a walking map to the nearest stop or station, and a real time map of where you are on your commute so you can know where to get off.  It also shows locations for Capital Bikeshare and car2go, and bike paths in the city and suburbs. (this is REALLY handy)

What really makes it invaluable is that it's available for cities all over the world:  http://transitapp.com/regions

I'm not a shill, I just think it's really great.[/quote]
