For your Metro ride to become pleasurable, avoid the busiest times. As much as possible, take the train during off-peak hours. Doing so will save you time, money and most of all patience. Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays are the most jam-packed days while the most congested periods start from 7:45 to 8:45 in the morning and 4:45 to 5:45 in the afternoon. You can save time if you have a round-trip farecard, a valid pass or SmarTrip card at hand. Check how many cars are in the arriving train through electronic message signs. Though it is almost always crowded in the 1st two cars, don’t assume that elsewhere is as congested. Look out for cars not full of passengers and board on those. Abiding on Employer-sponsored telecommuting and flextime can save you from all the discomforts you may experience during rush hour. In that way, you are also helping in the reduction of air pollution and minimizing of the crowd. You might as well suggest it to employers who don’t administer such measures.
