Reply to comment by newreddituser666 in I know it shouldn't be, but it's always weird seeing DC on a random, unrelated sub. by snow-days

Assuming this was Thursday, then to me sitting right adjacent, the traffic was angry, and most of it was looking for parking. just seeing trees from a car window seems both like a waste of time and boring to me, but sure, if it's just for a pretty road to drive to somewhere else, then it's almost as convenient as taking the metro, and maybe almost as good of an event as actually seeing the trees and spending time with the environment.

Whatever you wanna believe I guess dude.

I drove through the Watkins Park and Annapolis christmas lights during the holidays every year and enjoy it from the car. This is very similar to that. Taking Metro is a hassle, the trains are filthy and just not a good experience. Uber is Ok, but why take an Uber when you can drive to see this shit?

Like I said, believe what you will about the drive through, we can disagree. Idk what metro you're riding but the one in the dmv is nothing near a hassle, not even close to what I would call filthy for a public space, and I find to be a lovely experience every time.

Agreed, to each their own. Metro in general is dirty, has little fake thug teenagers, old newspapers all over place, nasty people coughing all over the place, then you have to wait for the trains which are constantly running late. No thanks. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Again, a vastly different experience to just about every single train ride I've ever taken. If it's ever late there's another one or it's like a few minutes, which in DC traffic especially around this thing you'll have more than that anyway.
