I can.
I got a job by DC and I’m central MD. Luckily, not far from trains (the original US railroads).
DC is a NIGHTMARE for traffic. The signs stink, circles and all confusing road systems, and everyone and their brother is going in and around. I tried the natural route 1st, found there is GUARANTEED semi-truck turnover every afternoon at the 270 split, then tried the 295 route (having to drive thru town). Slow traffic and generally a massive accident every week or so somewhere there.
I tried the train. At least on the evil “public transport” you get to sleep. I had to get up earlier (my tracks had limited trains), but it was worth it. I didn’t have to stay awake, or could do whatever I wanted while sitting there, reading, etc. I even put up with having to transfer to the Metro subway; about 1-1/2 hrs. Again, a small inconvenience compared to keeping eyes peeled for a full hour (or more, with accidents) each end. Rarely did I have “lateness” issues, certainly compared to the car.
You forgot to mention the Free WiFi. Don’t you like Free WiFi?
