While I was fortunate enough to not work in DC during my career, my husband did at one point. He rode the train down into DC, then Metro to his office's location.

That being said, now that we're retired and volunteering with our local cat rescue to drive cats to the SPCA to get fixed, we're on the Beltway a couple of times a week. It's a total parking lot. That and the Baltimore/Washington Parkway, which needs to be expanded to 3 lanes.
