Reply #41: DC has good public transit [View All]

The Metro runs very well and so do most busses. The problem is that the metro doesn't connect suburb to suburb. Governor Ehrlich seems intent on trying to sabatoge the purple line because it goes through a wealthy golf course in the Bethesda/Chevy Chase area.

There is MARC and VRE Commuter line service. However, they only run during rush hour and not on the weekends. They run out to the farther suburbs, but they don't seem to run as well as they should.

Baltimore has a light rail and a metro, but its hours aren't good. Also they do have busses, but they don't run well in the far suburbs.
