Reply to comment by Torn8oz in Reagan Airport parking sold out? by internet_emporium

The issue is off peak frequencies and transfer. Driving from woodley park to DCA takes 15 mins. Metro shouldn’t take too long if service was sufficient, but with trains every 10 mins and the yellow line bridge closed it will take around an hour now…

Even if it takes 30 minutes, paying ~$5 for metro each way is still cheaper than whatever the DCA daily rates are (google says $19/$29 depending on economy lot or not). I’d rather have that money for my trip, not parking.

Taking Uber/Lyft/taxi is cheaper and still provides the same convenience. OP also mentioned they did not want to do this but the comments seem to be all concentrated on metro.

You would think 15 minutes, but last time it took me 50. I definitely regret not taking the metro that time plus it’s way less stressful than driving.
