[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Everyone knows that driving is just a much better experience[/b], even if it costs more and takes longer. Fewer random delays, no smell of pot everywhere, no body odor smells, no people coughing and sneezing all over you, no people blasting their music. It would be nice if metro addressed issues relating to the pleasantness of the ride, but as is the case with things generally in DC, there seems to be a move toward focusing less on quality of life issues in the pursuit of some vague "equity" objective.[/quote]

I guess I’m not part of everyone?  I give metro a better experience — not having to deal with unexpected accidents/construction, no crazy people trying to kill me so they can get where they’re going five minutes faster, no parking, I can focus on work or a book while I ride rather than having to pay attention to the road, no wear and tear on my car, …

For people who have genuinely short car commutes or don’t have a convenient metro station I can understand why it’s preferable to just drive your car in but I’m surprised at least one person thinks suffering through the traffic in a car is pleasanter than an equivalent cost/time ride on a train.[/quote]
