[quote=Anonymous]This is our first time hosting an AP in the DC metro area (just moved to Bethesda). We have decided to NOT make driving a condition for employment and also to NOT offer a car for her to use in her work or personal time. We live less than 5 minutes to the nearest bus stop(s) with direct buses to the metro, the mall, downtown and northern shopping areas. DH takes the bus/metro to work every day without difficulty. Our new AP just arrived and so far she hasn't balked, but I'm expecting some backlash as soon as she meets some of the local APs who do drive. My question is - how many other HFs expect their AP to use public transportation solely? How does your AP handle late night outings and going places not well served by metro/buses. I am not adverse to allowing her to use a vehicle on a case by case basis but every AP I've had so far has been of the "give an inch, take a mile" ilk and it's a slippery slope I'd like to avoid for as long as possible.[/quote]
