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..
