unfortunately I will have a driving job, so metro would not fit my needs
to make deliveries and on site calls and such.   I know it's peak times,
I've been told there is a slowdown in traffic around 8 and 9, when those
respective workers have to be on the job.  I could be wrong.

I used to take metro when I worked in Crystal City,  but it is not practical
for this job.  METRO is great, believe me if I could I would..
