[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm the poster that lives .75 miles from the metro. I have to be honest - 2 miles away isn't "close" to the metro. For example, she won't be coming home from meeting her friends at night willing to walk 2 miles. Even .75 miles is just on the edge of casual walkability for us. And our bus stop is practically in our front yard. Where is the bus stop from you r house? I support you on not having her drive, really I do. But really think about what you're asking her to do because 2 miles from the metro is not walkable. I also didn't realize she's not someone use to public transportation. You really do have to be used to it and committed. It does take longer, it's more weather-influenced, and you have to take the time to learn the system. Someone used to just jumping in the car whenever and going is going to have trouble adjusting to walking 2 miles to the metro to get anywhere. It could work out totally fine if she's mature and if you are able to accommodate her in other ways, but keep an eye on it. [/quote]
