I heard CP mention that on WMAL a few days ago. I actually drove into NYC a couple times when I worked in Midtown, back in the 70s & 80s; never did that again. Took Amtrak or Conrail on a monthly pass, from then on. I can’t even imagine DC or LA traffic, now living here in semi-rural PA.
One of the perks living in The People’s Republic of Bethesda is the commute is at least half the time of VA.
