Staying local with feet

        Weekend Metro rates range from $3.40-$7.00 for one roundtrip.  So, meeting up w/ friends for a mimosas must take that into account.  $3.40 can still buy one a cup of coffee at most local coffee shops in DC.  Right?  My favorite ones I can walk to are Peregrine, Sidamo, and Sova.

       This leads me to wonder would an unlimited ride system be of benefit in DC.  If one has a 9-5 career with 20 Metro roundtrips and 4 roundtrip on weekends, that cost will range from $97.60-$263.NYC subway system charges $2.50 per ride with a 30 day unlimited ride ticket for $104.
