At that time you could get an all day pass for 5 bucks.
A half hour ride would get you to DC and there were stations all over. IIRC, the longest walk to any destination was 5 blocks to the Zoo!
All the museums had stops within a couple blocks, and I didn’t have to deal with traffic, which was and is, always horrible in that area.
As much as love the Smithsonian Museums, I have no desire to enter that cesspool now, unless it’s to restore the rule of equal law by We The People.

IIRC, the in-town fare was about a buck outside of rush hour when I was riding it. When I was working nights and evenings, I’d park at Gaithersburg or Falls Church for free, because the lots weren’t attended when I got off to go home. Automation closed that little loophole! I could also park free at our Crystal City office if I got there early and walk to the station.


What fresh Hell is this?
