[quote=Anonymous]It depends on what "just far enough out" from the Metro means.

PP here: We live 2 miles from the metro but the bus takes 15-20 minutes depending on the time of day because there are a LOT of stops from our house to the metro (fast food, shopping plaza with multiple stops, a school, some apt buildings, etc.) We still fully expect our AP to borrow the car and park at the metro, take the bus, or walk 30 minutes (she doesn't want to bike, but it's easily doable especially riding on the sidewalk).

If AP insisted on taking Uber to the metro every time at approximately $10/average a ride, I would not have 1) ever knowingly matched with such a princess or 2) be paying for any of it. (Slow times probably cheaper, but "peak" times can be more like $16 and I found a regular cab cheaper.)

Maybe once or twice at 12am, I'd take pity on her and give her some extra money. But no way for the daytime trips every day when the kids are in school when she could be managing her time doing something else and then taking the car in the evening. [/quote]
