I probably wouldn't be living in the area if it wasn't for metro.

dense cities become quickly unlivable if every worker takes a car in every day. the metro and the bus systems are the lifeblood of every big dynamic city.

I love the metro. The more people that take the metro, the less traffic I have to deal with on the street 😂

This is honestly true. I moved here very much in an attempt to reduce my car usage and live somewhere where I could get my basic needs met without a car - work, gym, grocery shopping, all things I can do without driving.

Yeah I wanted to grab coffee at Union Market today from the upper NW. Took my car since it was a little windy. Big mistake. Ended up driving to the area, hit traffic and just went home hitting more traffic. Ended up being more than an hour back and forth. Next time I’ll metro lol.
