Metro Instead of Driving

I recently moved to a house near Virginia Square, which is only an 8 - 9 minute drive to my work at the Pentagon...with traffic and stop lights. Most people in Northern Virginia would say that I have the ideal commute. But last month, I decided to stop driving to save money on gas. Instead, I walk .5 miles each way to the Metrobus stop and transfer to the Metro at Rosslyn, which then takes me directly to work. It may take me an extra 15 minutes to get to work, but the convenience of the Metro locations and added benefits of exercise and reduced travel expenses makes it well worth the change!

I encourage all to use the Metro system to its fullest!
