As much as yall shit on the metro. I really love not having to have a car to get around. I got rid of mine when I moved here.

I'm from somewhere that has little to no reliable public transportation

I’m currently in NYC and I also appreciate how clean the metro is relative to other cities

We shit on it, but in reality, it's one of the best metros in North America. RM transit made a amazing video on it! I'll link it

I absolutely loved that video, as RMTransit has said before Metro has the bones to become a world class system, but if Metro wants to get to that status, we’ll definitely need to fix some things, but we are getting there, SLOWLY.

Says everything you need to know about North America compared to the rest of the world when it comes to public transit

I came across that video a couple weeks ago and found it fascinating

Yes I agree! I drove an hour to work for 5 years and now I rely on biking and metro. The majority of the bike portion of my commute is via bike lanes and my metro portion is great! Everyone shits on the Silver Line but I love it, at least way more than driving.

This! And with the lines still growing, it’s really nice. Getting to Dulles from our place in Capitol Hill is awesome.
