Is it an automatic fire alarm? Yeah, those are really routine. you know what gets blood pumping? When you get dispatched for an AFA and then you get 2 follow on-calls for a fire at the location.

That's the shit.

I’d go from driving 2 days a week for work to 5. I only drive those 2 days because I have to go from DC out to Maryland and it’s not convenient at all to metro/bus to that area. I’d prefer to not drive at all and just metro/walk.

I moved to DC in 1997 straight after college and left to go back "home" in 2020. . . which is also when I bought my first car. We did start using car share a bit after we had kids, but there's no way we could/would have continue(d) to live in the area without Metro.

I'm absolutely paranoid about my bike/wheels getting stolen. The convenience of being able to dock and forget about bikes is worth the extra few minutes of walking to/from stations and the annual fee. I also bike recreationally and use my (fairly nice) bike for that
