[quote=Anonymous]Two kids at separate schools, one is nowhere near a metro.  The school that is near a metro is a 20/25 minute walk from our house with the kids.  Our kids will both be at the metro accessible school next year and we are considering our options, including possible biking to work and walking home with the kids.

Our elementary school is right at a metro and many parents walk their kids to school and hop on the metro and reverse it later.  The ones that I know well live within a much shorter walk to the school than us.

I am a 20 minute drive from work, probably a 40 minute metro and walk combo.

I am guessing that 7 out of 10 people I work with metro in or a combo of metro and biking.

When I was single, childless, and living in a non-metro accessible location I took the bus to work for years and loved it.  When my office moved and I had to do a bus/metro combination it got more expensive and a lot longer and I switched to driving.

When we bought our current home metro did not really factor into our neighborhood choice but it was a nice bonus.  We bought for the community and the schools.  [/quote]
