Metro Is Closing Again

Washington, DC's Metro Red Line is going through some shutdown pains again. Today, the Red Line was shut down between Silver Spring and Fort Totten. Shuttle buses were provided. The only bad thing, was the shuttle buses were located over on Wayne Avenue. While you could see them from either the Silver Spring Metro station, or from the Sarbanes Transit Center, where the other buses come in, it is still a hike to get to the shuttle buses. It's at least twice the length of a football field if not a little further.

I guess that Metro decided that having the shuttle buses enter the Sarbanes Transit Center, would have made things difficult for the regular commuters, that use the buses, even on weekends. What I did today regarding public transportation: Drove to the Bonifant Avenue parking garage, using University Blvd from my home in College Park to the Paul S. Sarbanes Transit Center, S2 bus to Irving Street NW, H2 bus to Michigan, Avenue and 4th Street, walk to National Shrine. Took G8 bus to Farragut Square, and then took the 42 Bus to M Street, and then walk to St. Matthew's Cathedral. Coming home: 42 Bus to Irving Street, S2 or S4 to Sarbanes Transit Center, walk to my car, which is at the Bonifant Avenue garage...I'm handicapped, so I can park for free.
