I'm looking for commuting adviceL

Right now I drive from 50 West and Washington Blvd.
in Arlington to Rte 29 and Cherry Hill Rd. in Silver Spring. for my commute.
My hours are typically 9:30 Am to 7 Pm.

I've tried two routes:

1.  50W -> Key Bridge via Rosylyn -> Canal Rd -> Foxhall -> Nebraska ->
	Wisconsin -> Western -> Conneticut -> 495 -> Rte 29. -> Cherry Hill

This is faster than you might imagine.  Anywhere from 33 Min to an Hour with
the morning average about 40-45.  Evenings about 35.

2.  50W -> GW Parkway N -> 495 -> Rte 29. -> Cherry Hill

This is much longer but takes a consistent 35 minutes because I can drive
fast.  Drawbacks are more gas burned and more miles on the car.


One way I haven't tried is 50W -> Wash Blvd South -> 395 N -> New York Ave ->
BW Parkway -> 495 -> Rte 29. -> Cherry Hill
Anyone know how long this runs?  Also, does anyone out there know if
I have reasonable public trans options?  My guess is that I could
walk to the Court House Metro, Ride blue/yellow to Metro Center, switch
to Red, ride to Silver Spring, grab a bus to Rte 29 and Cherry Hill, and
walk to work.  My guess is at least 1&3/4 hours.
I would consider car-pooling if there was someone out there with a similar
commute.
