[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]North Bethesda (Grosvenor-Strathmore) to Bethesda (across from BCC).  About 15 minutes...worst part is the hideous NIH and Naval Medical crap on Wisconsin.

They ruined that commute for everyone![/quote]

Sorry, you're ruining this one all by yourself. You apparently live very close to a metro station and work practically on top of another metro station, with just one stop in between. Why on earth are you sitting in traffic?[/quote]

I'm not the OP, but I have the same commute.  In my case, taking the metro would be a lot longer and would cost more than it does for me to drive.  
I live about a mile from the metro station-- so it is either a mile walk, an inconsistent bus ride, or an annoying drive to the parking lot (and paying metro parking).  And, there are relatively large distances to traverse, from the parking garage to the metro, imho...grosvenor-strathmore is not a particularly well designed station for quick commuting.  Then, when I get to Bethesda, it is another say 6-8 minutes to get to my building (including two minute for the escalator out of the station and a few minutes to wait to cross a couple lights).   Parking in Bethesda is less than the cost of the roundtrip metro fare+ metro parking.  It is true that the actual time on the metro is short...it is just everything else, and we all know how reliable metro is!  For this gal--and I'll be the OP-- the cost benefit analysis definitely says drive.[/quote]
