Going to be easier to cab or Uber unless traffic is shitty but the airport toll road makes that less of a concern

It's always going to be easier, but last time I went to Dulles it was $70 for an Uber.

I live 5 min from IAD (driving) and paid $18 for my airport Uber ride a couple of weeks ago.

Yeah, flew back into Dulles last night from a trip and it was $23 to go what would have been one stop if the Silver Line expansion was running and it would have cost me only a few bucks instead.

Damn. Just looked right now it $45. I normally drive if going out to Dulles so didn’t realize it could get as high as 70

Well, it's a $50 Uber vs probably a ~$5 metro ride (or $2 on the weekends), so I know I'd be willing to spend a little extra time on the metro to save that money

Time is money and also if it’s a work trip that’s getting expensed anyways.

Depends on your company's expense policies. Mine would definitely make me justify why I needed the $50 Uber over the $5 Metro fare outside of scheduling reasons.
