[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bus is super cheap. I can understand not wanting to pay for metro subway though. I like to take my kids downtown during the week in the summer and I feel like I'm always charged a rush hour fare of $6.50 no matter when I go. $6.5x 3 people x roundtrip= $39 just for a short trip[/quote]

$40 to take two kids on the subway is insane.

But that is what it costs to take a couple of kids downtown. It is almost always cheaper to simply drive and pay for a garage. [/quote]

DC needs to figure out what the priority is. To me, it's fewer drivers on the road and less pollution, so I'd prefer both to be free and/or inexpensive. For awhile, Tenley only had 2 hour parking, which made it impossible to even metro to Cleveland Park for dinner. Opening it to 4 hours means that I take the metro more often.[/quote]

Why would you drive to Tenley and then metro to Cleveland Park?  I am trying to figure out where someone would live that there isn't bus transportation to Tenley, isn't walking distance to Tenley, and that Tenley is the closest station.  [/quote]
