We were at the National Theater yesterday for a show. I live in Kaloroma. It took me an hour to Uber over there, and that's after 6 drivers cancelled. I walked home. It was nice weather and happy to be healthy enough to do it, but my God it was a mess down there yesterday. No way I was going through that again and paying 50 bucks.

If only there was a $2 train that could have gotten you there in 10 min...

Unfortunately there is not a train that gets close enough in between the two points that I was going. Besides the fact that even if there was the idea of the crowds was not a good one.

Fair enough. Sounds better than spending $50 to sit in an Uber for an hr, but to each their own.

When I called the Uber in the morning I did not realize how bad it was going to be. Normally its a short reasonably priced trip and by the time I did it was too late to take metro or walk or I would have been late.

The National is two blocks from Metro Center and Kalorama is an easy walk to either Dupont or Woodley Park.

And by the time I walked to those metro stops road the escalators and waded through all of the crowded and sweaty trains I could have walked home!!!!! But you know the thought never crossed my mind to take metro lol.

Most of the trains actually have very good airflow. Don't think I sweated once...
